Stages of Adoption of Technology (SA)
Description
The Stages of Adoption of Technology (Stages v1.1) instrument is a quick self-assessment measure. It has been used in both preservice and inservice education to measure the impact of information technology training as well as trends over time.
It is derived from the stages presented by Russell (1995) in research assessing adults learning to use electronic mail. Russell's stages included: (1) awareness, (2) learning the process, (3) understanding the application of the process, (4) familiarity and confidence, (5) adaptation to other contexts, and (6) creative applications to new contexts. The instrument is time efficient, reliable, and valid as an indicator of an educator's progress along a technology integration continuum.
