Abstract
Low adoption of innovation is a challenge in educational management. The significance of forecasting adoption of innovation, using relative advantage and compatibility as predictors was verified. Predictive research design was used. The data from 106 Generation X teachers, selected through stratified proportional random sampling, were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. Results showed the model's moderate strength (35%) in predicting adoption of innovation is significant, supporting the Diffusion of Innovation Theory. Future research may explore additional variables to account for the remaining 65% of the criterion's variance. Qualitative research may identify themes that could serve as potential variables.
