本研究以兩位國中地理教師為個案，根據教師教學文件、課堂教學活動、以及教師訪談及問卷等資料，探究教師對應用資訊科技於地理教學抱持的信念，並分析教學信念對資訊科技融入教學活動實施之影響。
研究發現個案教師認為資訊科技在地理教學中的重要角色，主要為展示地理環境及應用網際網路蒐集資訊。教師資訊科技的運用方式受到教學信念的影響，抱持傳統教學信念的教師，較偏重課本知識的傳授，資訊科技的應用主要採取教師講述方式。強調培養學生解決問題能力、以學生為中心的個案教師，教學時常應用資訊科技補充多元化的資料，常設計應用資訊科技的合作學習活動。地理教師應用資訊科技之目的，主要在於實踐傳統地理教學環境中難以達成之教學信念，包括真實呈現地理環境與提升學生學習興趣，因此資訊融入教材以實景照片、動畫、及影片為主。而教師經由資訊融入教材的製作與教學實踐後，獲得了經驗的累積、學生正面的回應、以及同儕教師的支援和鼓勵，因此運用資訊科技的自我效能信念也得以大幅增進。
