Multilevel final-model results for the 574-teacher sample; the article reports statistically significant positive effects with the printed test statistics for the three teacher characteristics. The article states these findings confirm earlier results by van Braak et al. (2004).

"The results highlight the significant positive effect of teachers’ ‘attitudes towards computers in education’ ( v2 = 8.410, d f =1 , p = 0.003), ‘technological innovative- ness’ ( v2 = 4.453, d f =1 , p = 0.030), ‘intensity of computer use’ ( v2 = 10.552, d f =1 , p = 0.001)"
