This site distributes research information from the national
survey, Teaching, Learning, and Computing--1998, a study of
teachers' use of computer technology, their pedagogies, and
their school context. More than 4,000 teachers and related
technology coordinators and school principals participated in
the study. The study included schools and teachers from a
national probability sample and also included purposive
samples of schools and teachers because of their participation
in major school reform programs or their unusually high
amounts of computer technologies available.

Eleven different search engines were scanned for eight
different terms (used as
keywords) taken from physics and chemistry. The number of
found documents
were registered. I think that the number of documents is the
primary parameter
when you're looking for scientific information. My estimates
show that the
maximum number of documents which can be found in the Net is
less than 10% of
the number that can be find using a good scientific database
like INSPEC or CAS.
Thus, the bigger is the database of a search engine, the
higher are chances that
you won't miss something important.

Why relatively few of this nation's 2.8 million
teachers use technology regularly in their teaching; how
teachers are prepared to use technology; what happens when
they do use technology; and what factors influence
technology integration in schools. The report also examines
what roles schools, districts, states, the private sector,
and the federal government play in supporting teachers with
new technologies; considers why the potential of technology
is not further exploited; and identifies significant
barriers to effective technology integration into our
education system. Especially useful for our project is Chapter
5: "Technology and the Preparation of New Teachers".
