Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers’ underlying epistemological beliefs as well as their philosophies of teaching are related to their uses of technology for teaching. The participants were 29 teachers who have participated in a three-year Comprehensive School Reform Program funded by the U.S Department of Education. The purpose of the program was to increase the technology capacity and competency of rural schools and to improve the quality of participating teachers' integration of technology in their classrooms to support specific learning objectives and students' mastery of skills and competencies described in the states' standards. Specific relations among teachers' beliefs, philosophical foundations for pedagogy, and strategies of technology integration are discussed.
