Identifying the Relationships among Teachers’ Perceptions and the Use of Interactive Whiteboard and Students' Learning Performance
Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among teachers' perception toward IWB, their use of IWB, and students’ learning performance. Data from 149 in-service teachers from three elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school in Texas was collected to determine teachers’ use of SMART Board (SB) (e.g., the frequency and types of use), teachers’ perception toward the SB, and the mean scores of their students’ standardized test performance. The results show that the teachers’ perceptions were positively related to their use of the SB and their experience on SB; while there was a negative relationship between their teaching experiences and their perception to use the SB. The findings provide educators with practical implications for more effective use of the SB.
