Abstract

This study focuses on the use of computers in the classroom as it relates to the amount of staff development days provided by school districts. Further, the study seeks to determine if gender differences exist between use of technology in the classroom as it relates to gender and staff development days. The study was conducted through a survey instrument that was responded by 338 high school teachers in nine-school districts on Long Island, New York. The study determined there was no significant difference between the amount of staff development provided by school districts and teachers’ use of instructional technology within the classroom. However, when they attend more than four days of training they are more likely to see an impact on the use of computers in the classroom. Further, it was determined that female teachers attend professional development days more than their male counterparts.
