Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Variables at both the school and teacher level significantly influence teachers' use of ICT in their class, including perceptions of internal ICT support, perceptions of the ICT plan content, and the number of in-service trainings. → Tondeur 2008

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Multilevel analysis (IGLS in MlwiN) of 574 teachers nested in 53 Flemish primary schools; the final model retained significant predictors including perception of internal ICT support, perception of ICT plan content, and number of in-service trainings. The article reports these as "significant positive effect" predictors; no standardised effect size appears in the quoted passage, so none is coded.
"As the fixed parameters in the final model in Table 4 reveal, variables at both the school and teacher level significantly influence teachers’ use of ICT in their class."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Local ICT school policies in Flemish primary schools are often underdeveloped and underutilised — related
- A lower pupil/PC-ratio in the classroom (more computers available in class) is associated with higher classroom ICT integration — related
- Teachers' perceptions of school ICT policy predict classroom ICT use, whereas principals' perspectives show no significant effect — related
- Teacher characteristics (computer attitudes, innovativeness, intensity of use) significantly predict classroom ICT use alongside policy factors — related
- About 9% of variance in classroom ICT use lies between schools, with the remainder between teachers within schools — related
- Traditional teacher beliefs negatively predict primary teachers' classroom use of computers — related
