Abstract

The Technology Readiness Index (TRI) was adapted to measure public school teachers’ technology readiness in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi teachers are categorized into five main groups, with the highest percentages being either “laggards” or “explorers.” This study’s findings suggest that the TRI could be a cross-culturally valid meas-urement scale for Abu Dhabi teachers.
