Abstract

EETT (Enhancing Education Through Technology), an Ohio Department of Education initiative, whose purpose was to enhance students learning by integration of technology in the curriculum, was implemented in Ohio Local Education Agencies (LEAs) through ODE and e-Tech Ohio, in 2006-2008. In 2007-2008, a study was conducted by collecting quantitative data through two self-constructed survey questionnaires (student and teacher), to determine student technology literacy & teachers’ and administrators’ technology literacy in 75 participating schools in Ohio. The present study entails a comprehensive investigation of the two SPSS data sets generated though the questionnaires: EETT Overall Student 6-8 variables and EETT Overall Teacher Variables K-8, on the outcomes of EETT initiative, on two constructs namely: Computer Skills (of 6-8 students, of K-8 teachers and of 6-8 students as assessed by their 6-8 teachers) and Computer Use (of teachers and administrators). The findings identify the demographic characteristics of participating teachers and students. It recognizes the difference in the Total Computer Skills scores of the students and teachers, from winter 2007 to spring 2008 and its variance among different grades and among genders of teachers and students. The result also distinguished the difference in Teacher’s Computer Use and their assessment of their Student’s Computer Skills due to the intervention.
