Abstract | A study examined the effects of instruction in the use of the Internet and prior computer experience on the concerns preservice teachers have about the use of technology in teaching. Subjects were 53 college sophomores, all elementary education majors and members of classes studying the foundations of reading. Participants were surveyed using the Stages of Concern toward an Innovation (George, Hall, Rutherford, 1977) to determine levels of prior experience, pre-treatment, and posttreatment levels of concern. Two directed academic tasks were completed requiring use of the Internet. Paired t-tests revealed significant changes for all participants in the areas of awareness, information, consequence, and refocusing. Results indicated an increase in levels of concern for participants. Findings suggest that short term instruction in the use of the Internet can effect a change in the concerns preservice teachers hold; trends in the changes in levels of concern are influenced partially by experience.
