Learning organizations rely on collaborative information and understanding to support and sustain professional growth and development. A collaborative self-assessment instrument can provide clear articulation and characterization of the level of adoption of innovation such as the use of instructional technologies. Adapted from the “Level of Use” (LoU) and “Stages of Concern” indices, the Level of Adoption (LoA) survey was developed to assess changes in understanding of and competence with emerging and innovative educational technologies. The LoA survey, while reflecting the criteria and framework of the original LoU from which it was derived, utilizes a specifically structured on-line, self-reporting scale of “level of adoption” to promote collaborative self-reflection and discussion. Growth in knowledge of, and confidence with, specific emergent technologies is clearly indicated by the results of this pilot study, thus supporting the use of collaborative reflection and assessment to foster personal and systemic professional development. Resume : Les organisations apprenantes s’appuient sur des informations et une comprehension issues de la collaboration afin de soutenir et d’entretenir la croissance et le perfectionnement professionnels. Un instrument d’auto-evaluation collaboratif permet d’articuler et de caracteriser de maniere explicite le niveau d’adoption des innovations, comme l’utilisation de technologies educatives, par exemple. Adapte a partir des indices de « niveau d’utilisation » (ou « LoU » pour Level of Use) et de « niveaux de preoccupation », l’instrument d’enquete sur le niveau d’adoption (ou « LoA » pour Level of Adoption) a ete concu afin d’evaluer les changements qui surviennent dans la comprehension des technologies educatives emergentes et innovatrices ainsi que dans les competences relatives a ces technologies. L’instrument d’enquete LoA, bien qu’il reflete les criteres et le cadre de l’indice original LoU dont il est derive, utilise une echelle d’autodeclaration en ligne du « niveau d’adoption » qui est structuree specifiquement afin de promouvoir l’autoreflexion et les discussions collaboratives. Les resultats de cette etude pilote demontrent clairement une croissance des connaissances et de la confiance relatives a certaines technologies emergentes en particulier, ce qui vient du meme coup appuyer l’utilisation de la reflexion et de l’evaluation collaboratives afin de favoriser le perfectionnement personnel et professionnel systemique.
