| Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM): A Model for Change in Individuals Typically used in staff development this model should be considered when planning for technology adoption. Stages of Concern" from the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM)This model was created to explain the lack of teacher buy-in and to propose ways of using this model to monitor and increase implementation of educational innovations. | |
| Levels of Use of Technology Compares LoTi to CBAM. | |
| LoTi (Level of Technology Implementation) This scale is an effort to accurately measure authentic classroom technology use. This scale focuses on the use of technology as an interactive learning medium because this particular component has the greatest and lasting impact on classroom pedagogy and is the most difficult to implement and assess. | |
| Integrated Technology Adoption and Diffusion Model (Sherry, Billig, Tavalin, and Gibson) describes a cyclic process in which teachers evolve from learners (teacher-trainees) to adopters of educational technology, to co-learners/co-explorers with their students in the classroom and, finally, to a reaffirmation/rejection decision. | |
| Meeting Individual Teacher Needs: The Teacher Technology Adoption Process The CEO Forum report on teacher adoption. Also see Teacher Preparation Star Chart which identifies stages of adoption for institutions and individuals in higher ed. | |
| Towards a Holistic Model for the Diffusion of Educational Technologies: An Integrative Review of Educational Innovation Studies by K.E. Dooley describes and analyzed design of models and proposes a diffusion model based on literature reviewed. | |
