Evidence¶

Pynoo 2012¶

Pynoo, B., Tondeur, J., Van Braak, J., Duyck, W., Sijnave, B. & Duyck, P. (2012). Teachers' acceptance and use of an educational portal. Computers & Education, 58(4), 1308-1317. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2011.12.026

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Paired t-tests on portal log data from 864 teachers compared usage at T1 and T2. The results section reports that "teachers downloaded significantly more (t(863) = -5.528, p<.001), while they uploaded significantly less (t(863) = 2.529, p=.01)."

"Table 2 shows a great disparity between the average number of downloads and uploads at both times. This difference even increases from T1 to T2: teachers downloaded significantly more (t(863) = -5.528, p<.001), while they uploaded significantly less (t(863) = 2.529, p=.01)."
