Short Description

Open educational resources (OER) can be a viable alternative to traditional textbooks for K-12 educators to implement differentiated instruction. To further advocate teachers’ use of OER, understanding teachers’ value beliefs is necessary. This research conducted latent class analysis on teachers’ value belief statement and then assigned teachers into four classes by their value beliefs towards using OER.
