The Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) is becoming one of the rapidly adopted educational technologies everywhere. However, while moving too fast to adopt new technologies, often decision is made without taking teachers’ perceptions into account.  \nThe current study focuses on teachers’ perspectives on two main aspects of the integration of IWBs in four Jordanian private schools: First, teachers’ perceptions of IWBsas instructional tools, and second, the presence of various supporting factors identified by the literature for the success of integrating IWB into schools. The study used a 26-item Likert scale which was administered to 200 teachers in the participating schools. The results showed that the participating schools spend extensive efforts and resources in integrating IWBs into their contexts; however, some supporting factors for the effective implementation might have been overlooked. In addition, in contrast to what some professionals might expect and some vendors might try to promote, IWBs did not make teachers’ job “easier” in terms of relieving teachers’ workloads, despite their values as reported by teachers.  \nKeywords: Interactive whiteboard; IWB; Instructional technologies; Technology integration in education; ICT; Educational technologies in Jordan  \nIntroduction  \nEducational organizations and schools are increasingly recognizing the potential of new technologies for improving educational outcomes so they are constantly searching the best pieces of technologies which can deliver that promise. Thus, schools race to “inject” new technologies in classrooms as their role in education is growing exponentially. As education is growing to become a large competitive market worldwide, private schools often conceive new technologies as means to promote themselves to the public. Recently, one of the rapidly adopted technologies by schools is the interactive whiteboard (IWB) .  \nThe first decade of the 21st century witnessed the spread of IWBs to replace one of the main characteristics of the traditional classroom which is the black/whiteboards. This technology is gaining much ground in schools as they can be used as a “traditional whiteboard, a large digital convergence facility or a highly sophisticated digital teaching hub” (Lee & Winzenried, 2009, p. 166) . In addition, there has been a great deal of enthusiasm and hope that the new technology will provide classrooms with more vivid educational experiences. The enthusiasm has also been accompanied by hope that the new technology will be adopted rapidly by education systems, school principals, teachers, and students. Much of that hope counts on the  \nbuilt-in capabilities of this technology which encompass the capabilities of several other technologies including computers, the motion picture, television and audio recorders, video conferencing, access to the networked world, and the ready facility to integrate all manner of digital teaching tools (Lee & Winzenried, 2009) .  \nHowever, any technology or educational change is as good as its implementation. Considering the conditions of implementation in different schools, it might become clear that the context in which the IWB is integrated may influence teachers’ beliefs regarding its potentials. Therefore, the variation of teachers’ responses regarding the effectiveness of the IWB can reflect the context in which they are exposed to this technology. Furthermore, mmuch of the literature points to the key role of teachers in adopting and implementing new technologies as instructional tools (Cochran-Smith, 2004; Doyle & Ponder, 1977; Gillingham & Topper, 1999; Sarbib, 2002; Townsend & B","cbCainHEGhxw6Y1I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainHEGhxw6Y1I","pdf",651161,17,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## IWB as Instructional Tool","[{\"question\":\"What aspects does the study investigate regarding IWB integration in Jordanian private schools?\",\"answer\":\"It examines teachers’ perceptions of IWBs as instructional tools and the presence of supporting factors identified in the literature for successful IWB integration.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the data collected for the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a 26-item Likert scale administered to 200 teachers in the participating schools.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results indicate about the effect of IWBs on teachers’ workloads?\",\"answer\":\"The findings suggest that IWBs did not make teachers’ jobs “easier” by relieving workloads, even though teachers reported their values.\"}]","Teachers’ Perspectives on Interactive Whiteboards as Instructional Tools in Four Jordanian Schools | PDF",1792089344,43]
