Document Summary
Nats 1700 teachers" beliefs and practices in technology-based classrooms: a. The three-year longitudinal study (1997 2000) was conducted in one school in a city in central israel. It was initiated by university researchers in collaboration with the local municipality education department and israeli ministry of education. The study, in the form of a case study, mainly employed qualitative methodology (lincoln & guba, 2000). The teachers are treated both as individual case studies and as a group; thus, we could address each of the six teachers who participated in the study separately while relating to them, holistically, as a group. The school principal selected six teachers for the study; initially four were chosen from the fourth and fifth grades, and two more teachers were added in the second year. Thus, six teachers and 164 of their students participated in the study; four of the teachers were studied for three years, and two teachers for two years.
