This book was released on 2008-11-11 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a need to understand the factors correlating with teachers' instructional use of computers, because much of the present research focuses on students rather than teachers. This study examines several factors relating to the use of computers in the classroom by teachers. The factors examined include teacher attitudes, emotions, beliefs, and outside influences. This was done by a review of the present literature, administering two surveys, and analyzing the survey data. Questionnaires were distributed to faculty at five randomly selected high schools in a Midwest city participating in the study. Data from the survey was then examined to determine which factors correlate with teacher computer use in the classroom. The results of this study will help improve understanding of teachers' instructional computer use.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Educators today are confronted with many views of what technology is and the purposes it should serve within instructional settings. Based on a national survey, "Teaching, Learning, and Computing (TLC)," this study was conducted to determine how teachers have incorporated computers into their instructional practices. The survey selected for this research study included sections on teaching beliefs, practices, and the use of computers. Five hundred surveys were made available both electronically and on paper. The response return rate for the survey was nearly 80% with surveys distributed to elementary, middle, and high schools throughout an urban school system. The TLC survey characterizes different ways teachers deliver instruction, employing traditional transmission techniques or constructivist means of delivery. Data was obtained and analyzed based on the review of literature that suggests that expert technology-using teachers reside on the constructivist side of the instruction continuum. The purpose of this study was to examine the pedagogical beliefs and classroom practices of teachers in a school system where laptop computers and other technology resources have been provided for each teacher. The researcher provided information to the administration into the beliefs and practices that are common, as well as those that are distinct, across teachers. The results of the study will be used to provide insight into future development of professional staff development. By providing realistic visions of what others have achieved, teachers may be motivated to begin their own journeys toward exemplary technology use.
Download or read book The Impact of Tablet PCs and Pen based Technology on Education written by Dave A. Berque and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tablet PC and similar pen-based devices are being embraced by a wide variety of disciplines as tools for the radical enhancement of teaching and learning. Deployments of Tablet PCs span all the K-12, higher education, and graduate levels and deal with an amazingly diverse range of subject areas, including geology, writing, mathematics, computer science, Japanese language, physics, engineering, business, economics, and technical communications. Despite the diversity of content areas, many deployments generate a singular passion among students and teachers. In April of 2006, a group of educators gathered to exchange ideas at the First Workshop on the Impact of Pen-based Technology on Education (WIPTE). The editors have selected a subset of papers that were presented at WIPTE for inclusion in this book. The papers have been selected for their broad appeal, diverse content, and insightful evaluations. The collective experiences of these authors will help the reader to identify best practices with regard to the educational use of pen-based computing.

This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2016 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, , language: English, abstract: Traditional or conventional teachers have a phobia of using technology like a fear of looking foolish, fear of asking for help, fear of not ‘catching on’ quickly enough, and fear of not being able to be effective with the technology in instructional settings. It is important to understand that these fears were self-imposed and self-generated, but very real nevertheless. Technology has an essential role to play in reducing the disparities that exist between the developed and developing countries. Computers are especially important in this context, because so many computer applications have a direct bearing on some of the main facets of the development process and reflect certain aspects of the technology that has facilitated the growth of the economically advanced countries. This study investigates the different attitudes towards computers and analyses them.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored teacher educators' pedagogical beliefs and technology uses in relation to preservice teachers' pedagogical beliefs and attitudes toward technology. Correlation and regression analysis were conducted to answer the research questions. The results revealed some relationships between the teacher educators' beliefs and their uses of technology. In addition, it was found that the teacher educators' learnercentered beliefs could influence the preservice teachers' learner-centered beliefs. The requency that the teacher educators had the preservice teachers use technology in both constructivist and traditional way could influence the preservice teachers' attitudes toward technology.

Download or read book Teachers Pedagogical Beliefs about Using Computing Devices in One to one Technology Initiative Schools written by Gary Steffensmeier and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a qualitative multiple case study design, this study investigated the ways that teachers' pedagogical beliefs about learning: 1) affect students' access to and use of one-to-one technologies and 2) shape one-to-one learning environments. Results indicate that teachers' pedagogical beliefs are not a predictor of student access to computing devices, but do impact how students use the devices in the classroom. Also, teachers' use of technology resources reflects their pedagogical beliefs. Teachers in the study reported that the increased access to technology via a one-to-one program positively impacted the learning environment by: facilitating better communication with students; empowering students; providing better feedback to students; making the teachers' job easier; providing teachers and students with better access to resources; allowing more ways to differentiate student learning; developing 21st century technology skills; providing variety; and helping motivate students to learn. Teachers' perceived negative impacts of the one-to-one program centered on the difficulties of shifting to new classroom management methods that accommodate technology devices and the distractions associated with the computing devices. Teachers also reported that they need better professional development to successfully integrate technology into their classrooms. Future professional development for one-to-one programs should be directed towards developing student-centered pedagogies with a focus on collaboration and integration of technology into the educational curriculum.
Download or read book Teacher Perceptions Beliefs and Attitudes about Technology and the Implementation of Classroom Technology Integration Practices written by Carol Annabel Askin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although the modern world is one of technology, technology is still minimally integrated and frequently used at lower levels in many schools. Despite the recent focus on the 21st-century skills of communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, technology use in classrooms seems to have stalled. Through this mixed methods case study, the researcher sought to explore the impact that teachers' perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs have on classroom technology integration practices. It is anticipated that by gaining a better understanding of this complex relationship, there may be a greater appreciation for why more teachers are not using computer technology in ways advocated in the literature. Moreover, this may enable educators to facilitate a better alignment between research, practice, and beliefs in order to provide more effective ways of supporting and documenting teacher change. Results from this study showed that there is a strong positive relationship between computer efficacy, teacher efficacy, and the integration of classroom technology. Results also showed there is evidence that student-centered classroom approaches positively influence how what, and when teachers decide to integrate technology into their classrooms and curriculum. Through this case study, the researcher provided a roadmap for larger scale investigations on this topic."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.
Download or read book Technology in the Classroom written by Kaye Lysen and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, I conducted interviews with seven fourth and fifth grade teachers to explore their beliefs and practices regarding the way in which technology is used in their classrooms. All seven teachers selected for these interviews were recipients of major grants for using technology in schools and classrooms, and have a minimum of one computer for every four students. Collectively, they teach in three different school districts in a variety of socio-economic settings, from middle/upper-middle class to lower-middle class. The results of the interviews demonstrate a wide variety in the way technology is used, from carefully outlined projects for which students are using technology to complete the project, to an inquiry-based approach where technology is used to find answers to questions that arise from the students themselves. In all cases, teachers viewed the use of technology as a tool to enhance the learning of their students and the quality of their own teaching. I have two primary conclusions: 1) There are many resources for lesson plans readily available on the Internet and from other teachers which use an inquiry-based or project-based approach to teaching to enhance both teaching and learning; 2) Inquiry-based learning and project-based learning are found along the line of a continuum of constructivist approaches to integrating technology in the classroom.
