Abstract
The purpose of this mixed-methodology study was to measure technology usage between student and experienced teachers at different grade levels and to determine if usage was in agreement with the International Society for Technology in Education's (ISTE) National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for Students. One hundred sixty student teachers and 158 experienced teachers from a large urban area completed a Computer Usage Survey; 19 of these participants were interviewed. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior (DTPB) provided the theoretical framework for this study. There were statistically significant differences found among technology uses across grade levels; the experience level of the teachers did not contribute to this difference. Findings in this study showed that primary grades conform more than the upper grades to national technology-literacy standards.
