The purposes of this research were 1) to study the level of information technology adoption of the educational opportunity expansion schools’ teachers, 2) to explore the level of factors influencing information technology adoption of the educational opportunity expansion schools’ teachers, and 3) to develop a predictive equation for the factors influencing information technology adoption of the educational opportunity expansion schools’ teachers. The sample consisted of 285 primary and secondary teachers from 34 opportunity expansion schools Primary Educational Service Area (PESA) in Pattani province. The sample size proportion was determined by using Krejcie and Morgan tables (1970) with 95% confidence and selected by the simple random sampling technique. The research instruments consisted of an 88-item questionnaire with 5 rating scales. The obtained data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Enter method of multiple regression.


The results of the study revealed the following. First, there was a high level of adoption of information technology for teaching in opportunity expansion schools (M = 4.25, SD = 0.43). Second, the overall aspect was at a high level (M = 4.12, SD = 0.52), with supports and motivations from administrators at a high level (M = 4.12, SD = 0.77), features of technology or innovation at a moderate level (M = 3.46, SD = 0.51), and social context, environment, and teaching atmosphere of educational institutions at a high level (M = 4.09, SD = 0.76). Third, some factors showed a significant level of .05: personal factor (X1), and social context, environment, and teaching atmosphere of educational institutions (X4). These two factors accounted for 69.10 percent of the variance. Finally, this present study developed the best fit predictive equations as follows:


Raw score Ŷ = 1.464 + .587 (X1) + -.050 (X2) + .008 (X3) + .132 (X4)
Standardized score ẐY = .711 (ZX1) + -.089 (ZX2) + .009 (ZX3) + .235 (ZX4)
