Abstract

The video projector as an educational technology, due to the activation of various senses, has many functions, but its use among teachers is not desirable. The purpose of this study is to investigate the teachers' attitude towards video
projector technology. The research method is survey and the research population is the teachers of three cities of Yasuj, Dehdasht and Gachsaran. 304 students were selected as sample from 56 schools using stratified random sampling To
measure the dependent variable respondents were asked whether they used the video projector in the current academic year or not. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to measure the attitude of the teachers to the video projector. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire  were determined through construct validity  and Alpha Cronbach's ethods respectively. Based on descriptive findings, the use of video projector is low and only 39.1% of teachers use this device Logistic regression test showed that the cognitive attitude toward video projector has a significant relationship with the ratio of the chance of video projector use and can explain the variance of 0.15. Finally, it is concluded that in order to increase the use of video projector as educational technology, it is necessary to first change the attitude of teachers towards this educational technology.
