| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of motivational and volitional email messages (MVEM) on preservice
teachers’ motivation, volition, performance, and their attitudes toward technology integration. Each of four sections in an
educational technology course for preservice teachers was randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group which received
MVEM constructed based on audience analysis; and the other which received placebo email messages consisting of class activities
reminders without audience analysis. Results indicated that the group provided with MVEM showed higher volition and more positive
attitudes toward technology integration than the group provided with placebo messages even though there was no difference
in motivation or performance. These results suggest that MVEM can serve as an effective tool for facilitating preservice teachers’
positive attitudes toward technology integration. Implications for the design and development of interventions or systems
for technology integration are discussed and further research is recommended. |
