Description
The Teachers' Use of Educational Technology in U.S. Public Schools, 2009 is a study that is part of the Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) program; program data are available since 1998–99 at <https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/downloads.asp>. FRSS 95 (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/) is a sample survey that provides national estimates on the availability and use of educational technology among teachers in public elementary and secondary schools during 2009. This is one of a set of three surveys (at the district, school, and teacher levels) that collected data on a range of educational technology resources. The study was conducted using surveys via the web or by mail. Telephone follow-up for survey non-response and data clarification was also used. Questionnaires and cover letters for the teacher survey were mailed to sampled teachers at their schools. Public schools and teachers within those schools were sampled. The weighted response rate for schools providing lists of teachers for sampling was 81 percent, and the weighted response rate for sampled teachers completing questionnaires was 79 percent. Key statistics produced from FRSS 95 were information on the use of computers and internet access in the classroom; availability and use of computing devices, software, and school or district networks (including remote access) by teachers; students’ use of educational technology; teachers’ preparation to use educational technology for instruction; and technology-related professional development activities.
