This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between teachers' educational beliefs and their classroom use of computers. The study surveyed 527 teachers from 68 primary schools. It identified different profiles of teachers' educational beliefs and linked these to different types of computer use in the classroom. The study concluded that teachers' belief profiles tend to be associated with different types of computer use and that understanding teachers' educational beliefs is important for supporting further integration of information and communication technology in education.

- When i started preparing this presentation about the role of educational beliefs I was thinking about this man.
- In a second step we colleted the data from a sample of 68 primary schools in Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. Here you have some demographics.
- The main aim of this study was to explore the link between the types of computer use and teachers educational beliefs. We all know that the explanation of ICT-integration cannot be restricted to technology related factors. And as you say Peg, teachers To find an answer to our question
- The teacher beliefs scale of Woolley, Benjamin and Woolley was used to measure the more specific beliefs about the organization of the learning and teaching environment. Some learner-centred, constructivist items are …
- More teacher centred items, representing traditional beliefs are …
- The assumtion is that teachers hold both “traditional” and “constructivist” educational beliefs Based on cluster analysis, respondents were distributed among four clusters: 180 were classified as cluster 1 (34%) A profile with high scores on both the TT Scale and the CT Scale. In contrast to this “constructivist and traditional profile” (C&TP), are teachers in cluster 4, which brings together teachers with a profile that reflects low scores on both the CT and the TT Scale. Teachers in this cluster are stated to reflect an “undefined profile” (UP). Teachers in cluster 2 had high mean scores on the CT Scale but low scores on the TT Scale. Therefore, the profile of teachers in this cluster is labelled as “constructivist profile” (CP) teachers in cluster 3 are defined as reflecting a “traditional profile” (TP). , 140 were grouped in cluster 2 (27%), 171 teachers belonged to cluster 3 (33%), and 32 could be found in cluster 4 (6%). Figure 1 presents the mean scores of the two classification measures of each cluster.
- In the next step, we included Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to test the differences in computer use statistically. The belief profiles were entered as independent variables to compare the three types of computer use in each cluster. What is interesting is that a teacher profile with relatively high constructivist beliefs and also high traditionalist beliefs leads to the most frequent adoption of all types of computer uses. One possible explanation is that, since teachers use computers in ways that are consistent with their personal beliefs, a broader spectrum of educational beliefs might result in a more diverse use of ICT. You can see that teacher belief profiles tend to be associated with different types of computer use Teachers with a traditional teaching profile, for example, are less likely to use “computers as an information tool” where the focus is on the interaction between the pupil and the subject domain content. Pupils are given more degrees of freedom when the computer is used to research and processing information when compared to the two other types of computer use. It could be suggested that the use of “computers as an information tool” is a high-level use of computers, associated with more student-centred, or constructivist practices. In addition, teachers with a traditional teaching profile are much more likely to use “computers as a learning tool” as compared to using “computers as an information tool”. For this group of primary teachers, drill-and-practice activities on the computer are more common. The results confirm that teachers are likely to adopt practices with computers that are in line with their beliefs about teaching.
