Organisational Factors Affecting IT Innovation Adoption in the Finnish Early Childhood Education
نویسنده
چکیده
Continuous technological development has created new ways of utilising IT in the public sector. However, the use of information technology is still to a large degree in its infancy in early childhood education. The study focuses on the adoption of IT innovations within early childhood education context in Finland. IT innovations can be used for instance in communication between different actors in early childhood education, in rationalisation of day care management and in support of the child's healthy growth. The study examines the organisational factors that enhance or hinder organisational innovativeness. A qualitative multiple case study approach was selected in order to understand the adoption processes in different organisations.
