Abstract

This inquiry concerned the investigation of the relative importance of teacher variables and situational variables in determining teacher attitudes toward instructional media and instructional media use

frequency. The teacher variables included: (I) formal training in AV-methods, (2) satisfaction with media services at school, (3) perception about the attitudes and reactions of other school personnel toward the use of media, (4) ability to operate AV-equipment, (5) ability to produce AV-materials, (6) teacher attitudes toward instructional media, and (7) instructional media use frequency. The situational variables were divided into two groups. First, qualifications of the AV-coordinator, which included: (I) official status, (2) experience in educational media,

(3) academic qualifications, (4) formal training in educational media, and (5) contributions to school curriculum and media-related decisions. Second, other situational variables, which included: (I) number of media personnel other than the AV-coordinator, (2) teacher training facilities in AV-methods, and (3) availability of media resources.
