METHODOLOGY Sample Development of the Instrument 67 Design of section one: Teacher background information Design of section two: Accessibility of computer-related technologies 70

Iowa mathematics teachers' use and perception of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics

“…Continuation of the trend of computer related technology use documented in the Schmidt (1991) study is supported by this study. The next highest teachers' average responses for the frequency in use factors were "individual learning" (e.g., Drill and Practice and Tutorials) and "computer tools applications" (e.g., spreadsheets, data base, graphic generator).…”

Effects of a videodisc problem solving approach embedded in constructivist-based instruction in mathematics methods course on preservice teachers' decisions about teaching mathematics strategies and attitudes toward mathematics and technologies

“…Computer-related technologies -Continually developing kinds of computer, peripherals, and supporting software (Schmidt, 1991). Computer-related technologies include, but are not limited to: computer, CD-ROM, telecommunication, multimedia, liquid crystal diode (LCD), videodisc, videodisc player, modem, video camera, optical scanner, audio synthesizer, Xap-shot.…”

“…The attitudes of preservice and in-service teachers toward computers have been studied (e.g., Bitter & Davis, 1985;Koohang, 1987;Schmidt, 1991;Woodrow, 1991).…”

“…In addition, many teachers reported their hesitation to use the instructional technologies (Cox, Rhodes, & Hall, 1988). Schmidt (1991) explained this teachers reluctance due to teachers' attitude toward computer-related technologies.…”

“…Teacher attitudes toward computer-related technologies have been surveyed (for example. Bitter & Davis, 1985;Center for Educational Statistics, 1986;Killian, 1984;Schmidt, 1991Schmidt, ,1995. In 1982,238 Nebraska K-12 teachers participated in a "Computers in Education Survey" focused on educators' perceptions and expectations of the role of computers (Stevens, 1983(Stevens, -1984.…”
