These files include the data collection tool (and its English translation) for the study: "Egypt’s ICT Reform: Adoption Decisions and Perspectives of Secondary School Teachers During COVID-19." The main tool used was the Arabic version as it was distributed in an Arabic-speaking context.The abstract for this study can be found below:This descriptive quantitative survey study explored the perspectives of 221 secondary school teachers from 19 Egyptian governorates on the ICT component of the 2017 reform in education. Data was collected during the novel context and mandates dictated by the widespread COVID19. The main indicators of teachers’ perspectives were adopted from Roger’s Diffusion of Innovation Theory, while their digital competencies were aligned with the levels of the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework. The study found that the majority of participants hold positive perspectives on the relative advantage of ICT-integration, average perspectives on its complexity, and negative perspectives on its compatibility with Egypt's education needs and main priorities. It further highlights the presence of multiple challenges that may affect teachers’ decision to adopt/reject the ICT-reform, including the human and technological infrastructures as well as communication. The insights gained from this study may assist in understanding teachers' level of persuasion, sources of social resistance, and needed capacity building.

This study contains data on the diffusion of innovative legislation and public programs among the 48 continental states of the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. Information is provided for the year in which each state initiated each of 85 innovative programs and for the date when the state became a territory. Variables provide information on the programs enacted and on the innovative score, which was calculated for each state on each issue. Based on the number of years that elapsed between the first and the last legislative enactment of a program, each state received a score corresponding to the percentage of time that elapsed between the first adoption of the program and the state's own acceptance of the program.
