Abstract | This paper reports the findings of an attempt to identify elements in one community college that influenced teachers' choice of instructional methods and styles. The college studied was an innovative institution, focusing special attention on audio-tutorial instruction (multimedia systems), computer assisted instruction, and instructional television. Using the participant observation method, the process by which 125 full-time faculty members accepted or rejected innovations was examined. The faculty members are categorized into four types: Uninhibited Innovators, Hesitant Innovators, Uninvolved Non-Innovators, and Alienated Non-Innovators. The results of the study focus on the need of the faculty for a sense of autonomy in their work situation and the support and protection of their peers before adopting instructional practices foreign to them.
