This uneven flow of adoption moves along a continuum that can be described by the Technology Acceptance/Use Continuum (Loague, 2003) . This study aims to provide information regarding faculty technology acceptance and use for instruction at an HBCU. Preliminary data was collected from a questionnaire administered to 50 faculty members from two different colleges. Findings indicate an overall positive attitude toward using technology in instruction, and that the university and colleges do not provide enough tech support (both hardware and training) . The types of technology being used most are the course management system, desktop applications, and presentation software. The data appears to indicate that the faculty as a whole is operating at the intermediate level or slightly below on the technology acceptance/use continuum.  \nKey words: technology use, higher education, college professor, technology acceptance  \nToday’s K-12 schools and universities, teachers, faculty, and administrators are expected to meet accreditation standards in teaching and modeling appropriate digital skills. Students readily accept and use today’s new technologies, but most administrators as well as teachers and faculty are struggling with the adoption of new technologies and the new concepts about teaching that it brings to school culture. This has been in effect since the 1970’s. The implementation of technology into instruction has been a process of acceptance and then use based upon the perceived usefulness and ease of use. Some teachers, professors, schools, and universities have led the way integrating technology while others have moved slowly. It has not been an even process for individuals or institutions. A large number of research studies have examined a variety of interrelated reasons for the creeping rate of technological changes in education. The reasons include lack of technology education, attitudes toward technology, lack of technology training and support, lack of infrastructure, and lack of opportunities to observe technology-rich classrooms (Vannetta & Beyerbach, 2000; Fullan, 2012; Jones, 2017; Camilleri, 2017) .  \nThe adoption of technology for instruction and use in the classroom has been studied using several models, the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975), Rogers’ Theory of Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) (Rogers, 1983), and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)(Davis, 1989) and its derivatives, (Lai, 2017; Surendran, 2012) . The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) states that a person’s attitude toward a behavior, such as using computer technology, is determined by one’s beliefs about the consequences of the behavior and the influence of external factors (colleagues, friends…etc.) . Rogers’ Theory of Diffusion of Innovations (DOT) explainshow ideas and new technology are spread. The elements of diffusion are the innovation itself, the adopters, communication between adopters, time, and the influences ofthe social system. Rogers (1983) identified five stages of adoption, which are knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Five adopter categories were also identified, innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards.  \nThe Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis, 1989) is an extension of TRA replacing measures of attitude with those of technology measures-ease of use and usefulness. TAM has been used most often and verified by multiple studies examining technology use (Lai, 2017; Surendran, 2012; Wingo, Ivankova, Mo","cbCaiercUzc83wLL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiercUzc83wLL","pdf",73189,"English","# Abstract\n# Technology Acceptance and Use in Education\n## Uneven Adoption Since the 1970s\n## Factors Affecting Acceptance\n# Adoption Models and Frameworks\n## Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA)\n## Diffusion of Innovations (DOI)\n## Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)\n# Technology Acceptance/Use Continuum\n## Low Acceptance/Use\n## Intermediate Acceptance/Use\n## High Acceptance/Use","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the study about technology in education?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on professors’ attitudes and perceptions regarding technology use in classroom instruction, especially faculty acceptance at an HBCU.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the preliminary data collected?\",\"answer\":\"Preliminary data were collected using a questionnaire administered to 50 faculty members from two different colleges.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the study find about faculty support and the level of acceptance?\",\"answer\":\"Faculty show an overall positive attitude toward using technology for instruction, but the university and colleges do not provide enough tech support, including hardware and training.
