Abstract

This study examined the levels of availability, effectiveness, and utilization of computer technology by high school mathematic teachers. The design for this study was descriptive-comparative. First, it sought to provide a demographic profile of the participants. Second, it sought to determine significant differences among teachers with different years of experience on the levels of availability, effectiveness, and utilization of computer technology. It also sought to determine significant differences among teachers in different size school districts on the levels of availability, effectiveness, and utilization of computer technology. The survey instrument was developed and administered to 74 math teachers. Results showed that teachers are having problems accessing computers and a strong need for more curricular-based software exists. Data showed that computer technology is helpful in instructional procedures and in the student learning process.
