摘要利用调查数据，作者研究了以技术为中心的专业发展计划的强度（而不是持续时间）与预测成功结果的具体参与者特征之间的关系。选择的四个参与者的特征是：教师的准备支持学生的技术使用的感觉，教师的看法与学生创建基于技术的项目的有用性，教师的看法的教学方法的相关性强调，和教师的功能软件的事先使用。确定了两项成果：（1）使用新的软件应用程序/技术技能;（2）实施新的技术丰富的课程。分析表明，个人特征的不同组合预测了每种结果。此外，强度的程序只预测后者的结果。本研究的影响进行了讨论的框架内的专业发展文献。
Abstract Using survey data, the authors examined the relationship between intensity (as opposed to duration) of a technology-focused professional development program and specific participant characteristics in predicting successful outcomes. The four participant characteristics chosen were: teachers’ feelings of preparedness to support student technology use, teachers’ perceptions of the usefulness of creating technology-based projects with students, teachers’ perceptions of the relevance of the pedagogical approaches emphasized, and teachers’ prior use of featured software. Two outcomes were defined: (1) Use of new software applications/technology skills and (2) implementation of new technology-rich lessons. Analyses indicated different combinations of personal characteristics predicted each outcome. In addition, intensity of the program only predicted the latter outcome. Implications of this research are discussed within the framework of the professional development literature.
