Some Concerns About the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) and Technology

Scott W. Slough

Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference 1999 (1999) pp. 1949–1953

The Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) originally proposed by Hall & Hord (1987) and modified by Bailey and Palsha (1992) provided a conceptual framework for the study discussed (Slough, 1998). According to the model, as innovations—in this case ...

Technology as an Innovation in Science and Mathematics Teaching

Scott W. Slough; Gregory E. Chamblee

School Science and Mathematics Vol. 107, No. 6 (October 2007)

The successful implementation of an innovation--information technology in this instance--is a process that is developmental in nature, and a highly personal experience for each teacher. Thus, for any change to be successful, the concerns of each...
