evolution in technology integration: Stage 1 - Entry, Stage 2 - Adoption, Stage 3 -
Adaptation, Stage 4 - Appropriation, and Stage 5 - Invention. The measure used in this
study was adapted by T. Clark (personal communication, April 20, 2005) from the work
led by Dwyer (Dwyer et al., 1990).
No report of ACOT's use in Mexico is available, thus, a correlation coefficient ofr
.63 (p < .0005) between ACOT and Stages of Adoption is reported in this study (see pilot
study, Appendix A.) The descriptions of the ACOT teacher stages were directly
translated from the original in English into Spanish.
All measures, except Technical Support, Openness to Change, and some demographic
questions, had been previously administered to elementary and middle school teachers from a
School District of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area in 2003 and 2004. The data from 2004
were used as the Texas sample. Therefore, administration of instruments was performed solely
in Mexico City.
Research Design
This was a predictive model study, involving four latent variables: Will, Skill, Tool, as
the predictor variables, and Technology Integration as the criterion variable. The study aimed at
identifying the best model for the data from Mexico and Texas, and determining the amount of
the technology integration variance accounted for by Will, Skill, and Tool. The proposed
theoretical model for testing is depicted in Figure 7.42
