Title: Utilization of Educational Media and Technology by Educators in Selected Community Colleges in Texas

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify the utilization of educational media and technology by educators in selected community colleges in Texas. Questionnaires were distributed to a sample of 313 instructors currently teaching at nine community colleges in Texas. One hundred and sixty one useable questionnaires were completed and returned. Lotus 1-2-3 Windows was used to process the data collected; totals and percentages were produced. The results were displayed in ten tables. Findings were that the instructors preferred using traditional media to new technologies; media center staff members provided necessary assistance to the instructors; the location of media centers was convenient; scheduling was adequate; and physical equipment and facilities of classrooms need to be renovated, remodeled, or upgraded. The conclusions suggest that actions should be taken to enhance the use of educational media and technology by providing adequate training for the instructors in the use of media materials; sufficient budget should be allocated to renovate classrooms and upgrade equipment and facilities; and release time for instructors should be provided to involve them in new media technologies used in an educational setting. The study yielded some recommendations for further research that include studies of college students' attitudes toward educational media, the hindrances that may limit instructors' use of educational media, the evaluation of media services, and surveys of media used in individual colleges both at state and national levels.
