Introduction
Innovation Any idea practice or object that is
perceived as new by an individual or other unit
of adoption.

• Diffusion, is the process in which an innovation
  is communicated through certain channels over
  time among the members of social system.
• ( Rogers, 2003)
• (.Use of information technology is
  a diffusion process.)

Therotical Framework Innovation Decision
Process

• IDP is the process through which an individual
  (or other decision-making unit) passes from
  gaining initial knowledge of an innovation, to
  forming an attitude toward the innovation, to
  making a decision to adopt or reject, to
  implementation of the new idea, and to
  confirmation of this decision. (Rogers 2003)

Problem

• In this study, the teachers stages in the IDP
  about ICT usage related to teaching tasks were
  investigated with their satisfaction and
  importance level about ICT facilities.

5
Method

• The data were analyzed qualitatively and
  quantitatively.
• Content analysis.

Findings

• Most of the teachers
• I dont use but it would be better to use.

12
Some States from Teachers

• Computers are very useful tools for preparing
  annual-daily lesson plans. It is more systematic
  than hand written plans.
• I dont use but it would be better to use,
• I review and use work sheets (prepared through
  computers) on my lectures but because there isnt
  any ICT facilities in the classrooms, I cant use
  them.

14
Result

• The importance level is very high
• Satisfaction level is low.

15
Result

• Managerial tasks- Implementation stage
• Instructional tasks- Persuasion stage

16

• Diffusion process is in two dimensions
• Managarial task is faster
• Instructional task is slower
• (The reason of this can be studied )
