America's urban classrooms are abundant with students of diverse populations who require creative instructional strategies for effective learning to ensue. However, often educators' efforts appear situated solely around increasing students' test-score achievement, while failing to focus on their attitudes and motivation to learn. This qualitative research study examines fifth-grade science teachers' perceptions towards a novel computer-assisted instructional software, Study Hall 101. Specifically, this study explores science teachers' perceptions of Study Hall 101 as an instructional method to increase students' motivation to learn science and participate in science class discussions. Data collection methods were triangulated through individual interviews, focus groups, and electronic-mail (e-mail) responses to open-ended sentence stems. Findings support previous literature, which purports that student attitudes towards curricula, motivation to participate in classroom discussions, and investment in their own learning process improve with computer-assisted technology.
