Abstract :
The present study was aimed to examine the relationship between using IT
(information technology) andadaptability with common sensein high school
teachers (second grade) of Bandar Kangan. This research was practical in
terms of objective, and it was descriptive and correlational in terms of
method. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all high
school teachers (second grade) in Bandar Kangan. Sample size was 150
individuals who were selected using a random sampling method.
Measurement tools included Tromso's (2001) common sense questionnaire,
Bell's (1961) adaptability questionnaire, and Mahmudi's (2013) "level of
using IT" questionnaire. In order to determine the reliability of the
questionnaires, Cronbach's alpha method was used. Its alpha coefficient for
the questionnaires of common sense, social adaptability, and ICT was 0.78,
0.95, and 0.89, respectively. The results obtained from this research
indicated that there was a positive significant relationship between the level
of using IT and its eightfold components (employees' competency,
adjustability, adaptability, connection, speed, segmentation, capability,
facilities, and novelty) with the level of adaptability and common sense in
high school teachers (second grade) of Bandar Kangan. The results of
regression analysis also showed that predictor variables (IT components)
generally predict about 0.30 of adaptability variance and 0.35 of common
sense variance
