En utmärkande egenskap hos nästintill all dagens teknik är att den innehar funktioner med syfte att utöka och stödja människans kognitiva förmågor. Det kan vara funktioner som stödjer vårt minne, som styr vår uppmärksamhet eller hjälper oss att planera och organisera aktiviteter. I Sverige har det blivit allt vanligare att teknologi i form av smartphones, surfplattor och datorer används på ett utbrett sätt i elevernas skolgång. Enligt tidigare forskning är däremot lärarnas inre föreställningar och attityder gentemot teknologin en avgörande faktor för huruvida lärarna i slutändan väljer att integrera teknologin i sin undervisning, och på vilket sätt som de väljer att göra detta. Den aktuella studiens syfte var att undersöka lärarnas föreställningar och attityder gentemot fem kognitiva funktioner som finns i teknologiska enheter som smartphones och surfplattor.
