Factors involved in the implementation of pedagogical innovations using technology

This paper analyzes the factors involved in successful implementation of innovative pedagogical practices using
ICT in ten Israeli schools. The research questions addressed are:
1. What is the configuration and intensity level of the various factors involved in the implementation of innovative
pedagogical practices using ICT in schools?
2. Can a connection be identified between the level of intensity of the different factors affecting the innovation
and the level of change in various domains of innovation (e.g., teacher role, student role, curriculum, and time
and space configurations)?
Data from ten case studies in Israeli schools were analyzed using the framework developed to measure the
intensity of the factors involved in the innovation. Infrastructure, factors within the school, school climate and
educational policy were found to be the most involved categories. These factors mostly affect aspects of the
innovation related to teacher roles, instructional contents and teaching methods.
