	abstract = {This research is focused on secondary school chemistry teachers{\textquoteright} (N=276) and chemistry pre-service teachers{\textquoteright} (N=159) attitudes towards the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education. A questionnaire constructed upon Rogers{\textquoteright} theory of diffusion of innovation was used. Based on the answers, the respondents were grouped according to their innovativeness {\textendash} into types of innovation adopters. Analysis of the participants{\textquoteright} responses to the statements in the questionnaire suggests that neither gender nor their teaching experience influence their innovativeness. The respondents mostly tend to hold a pragmatic view, accept the role of ICT in education. However, they need proof to decide whether to adopt it in their teaching practice. As the respondents could leave their contact information, it is possible to further focus on particular groups of innovation adopters, to observe their lessons, analyse their approach and mainly influence and support those groups, which maintain a {\textquotedblleft}role model{\textquotedblright} position and trigger diffusion of innovations.},

	abstract = {This paper explores development of the discipline of e-learning. It develops the evolutionist model of e-learning development and compares it with the diffusionist model of e-learning development. Using transdisciplinary research methodology, it develops the diffusionist-evolutionist model of e-learning development. The diffusionist aspect of the model concentrates to practical issues such as introducing e-learning into educational institutions. The evolutionist aspect of the model concentrates to theoretical issues such as comparative studies of historical developments. On such basis, the diffusionist-evolutionist model provides a single practical framework for describing small-scale and large-scale e-learning development. Following methodological restrictions, the diffusionist-evolutionist model does not reflect any natural principle. As a research principle, it only aims at improving our current descriptions of e-learning development.},
