Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine the effect of teachers’ personal computer use and their instructional approaches on the use of technology in the classroom. Participants of the study includes 232 teachers working in 15 vocational and technical education institutions in Gaziantep city. Datum were collected through Levels of Technology Implementation questionnaire and statistical analysis carried out by standart multiple regression. According to results of the study a statistically significant correleation found between the teachers’ technology use in classroom and their personal computer use and instructional approaches. Further regression analysis showed that %58 of teachers’ technology use in the classroom is determined by their personel computer use and instructional approaches.

Keywords
