520 3    |a Purpose : The effect of recent innovations in instructional technologies on classroom teaching and learning is one of the most discussed issues in education (Webber, 2003). The purpose of this causal-comparative study was to investigate the effect of change styles on instructional technology use by elementary school teachers in a classroom setting. A literature review suggested that some elementary school teachers used instructional technologies in their classrooms more frequently than others did; some teachers showed strong resistance in using instructional technologies in their classrooms while some were skeptical using these technologies initially but could be persuaded to use them more often than they did before. Change style of teachers may be a significant factor in instructional technology use in elementary school classrooms. Method : The independent variables of the study were the change style, gender and teaching experience of participants; the dependent variable was instructional technology use in a classroom setting. The population of this study consisted of elementary school teachers in a school district in Florida. A total of 81 volunteer elementary school teachers from among the population participated in this study. Participants were asked to complete the on-line surveys disseminated through the web-based tool on Survey Monkey. The one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical test was used to compare all sample means simultaneously and to determine whether or not a statistical significance existed somewhere in the data. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to classify, analyze and organize the collected data. Creswell’s (2002) six steps of hypothesis testing method was used in this study. Major Findings : The findings of this study revealed that there was a significant difference in instructional technology use by elementary school teachers based on their change styles in a classroom setting. However, there was no significant difference in instructional technology use by female elementary school teachers based on their change styles. The findings revealed that there was a significant difference in instructional technology use by male elementary school teachers based on their change styles. The results revealed that there was a significant difference in instructional technology use by beginning elementary school teachers based on their change styles. Similarly, there was a significant difference in instructional technology use by experienced elementary school teachers based on their change styles.
