K-12 Reform Model. Development of the LoTi Questionnaire.
E N D
Development of the LoTi Questionnaire The LoTi Questionnaire was developed to measure the level of technology implementation of educational practitioners. This fifty item questionnaire assesses one’s Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi), Current Instructional Practices (CIP), and Personal Computer Use (PCU). The eight levels of the LoTi assessment are based on the LoTi Framework. (Moersch 1995-1999; Middleton, 1999; Deacon, 1999; Schechter, 2000; Moersch, 2001; Maxwell, 2002 and Woodbridge, 2003)
Development of the LoTi Questionnaire In 2005, Dr. Jill Stoltzfus of Temple University conducted an extensive validation study of LoTi. The results of the study are as follows: • Each domain of the survey (LoTi Levels, CIP, and PCU) achieved content validity • Personal Computer Use (PCU) and Current Instructional Practices (CIP) emerged as statistically reliable and are therefore, empirically valid • Levels of Technology Implementation (LoTi) Level 0 (Non-use) emerged as statistically reliable and is therefore, empirically valid
