Tóm tắt

The diffusion of curriculum-integrated computing (CIC) throughout a typical liberal arts curriculum can be understood in terms of the innovation diffusion model and certain correlates of actual time since adoption of computing in classroom work. Of four primary variables, [scores of instructors on a measure of innovativeness (Kirton Adaption-Innovation Scale, KAI); years teaching experience; ratings of the value of computing in the classroom setting; and total number (out of 12) of academic innovations currently being used], only the rated value of computing was significant (r = 0.51). The tendency for early adopters of CIC to undervalue eight sources of information about academic innovativeness and the seeming failure of KAI scores to predict the adoption of computing were interpreted in terms of the Midgely and Dowling theory of innovativeness. © 1988.
