Download or read book Research on Technology in Social Studies Education written by John Lee and published by IAP. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite technology’s presence in virtually every public school, its documented familiarity and use by youth outside of school, and the wealth of resources it provides for teaching social studies, there has been relatively little empirical research on its effectiveness for the teaching and learning of social studies. In an effort to begin to fill this gap in research literature, this book focuses on research on technology in social studies education. The objectives of this volume are threefold: to describe research frameworks, provide examples of empirical research, and chart a course for future research endeavors. Accordingly, the volume is divided into three overarching sections: research constructs and contexts, research reports, and research reviews. The need for research is particularly acute within the field of social studies and technology. As the primary purpose of social studies is to prepare the young people of today to be the citizens of tomorrow, it is necessary to examine how technology tools impact, improve, and otherwise affect teaching and learning in social studies. Given these circumstances, we have prepared this collection of research conceptualizations, reports, and reviews to achieve three goals. 1. Put forward reports on how research is being conducted in the field 2. Present findings from well-designed research studies that provide evidence of how specific applications of technology are affecting teaching and learning in social studies. 3. Showcase reviews of research in social studies It is with this framework that we edited this volume, Research on Technology and Social Studies Education, as an effort to address emerging concerns related to theorizing about the field and reporting research in social studies and technology. The book is divided into four sections. The first section of the book includes three descriptions of research constructs and contexts in social studies and technology. The second section is focused on research reports from studies of student learning in social studies with technology. The third section contains research reports on teachers’ pedagogical considerations for using technology in social studies. In the fourth and final section, we present work that broadly reviews and critiques research in focused areas of social studies and technology. This volume contains twelve chapters, each of which focuses on social studies content and pedagogy and how the field is affected and enhanced with technology. The volume includes research and theoretical works on various topics, including digital history, digital video, geography, technology use in the K-12 social studies classroom, and artificial intelligence.

Download or read book Integration Of Technology In The Social Studies Curriculum written by Brandford Bervell and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the disciplines technology offers unique opportunities to the teacher. Examples of these opportunities include the ability to research, create presentations etc. For Social Studies technology offers a new way to reach out for the world. Much of the Social Studies curriculum is based around the idea of learning about the world around us and the myriad ways that people across the globe function and live differently but effectively. With technology social studies teachers, have a chance to allow students to explore and experience the world in a new virtual way and create knowledge by themselves. This fosters the much emphasized constructivist paradigm. However, over the years, it has been observed that despite the lee way that technology offers to the teaching and learning process, the traditional social studies teaching is "yoked to the textbook, captive to chalk and talk." For most teachers their hiccough is how they can tailor technology around the social studies curriculum to make it effective and interesting. This book expounds social studies teachers' perception towards technology integration and provides a practical approach to teaching social studies with technology.
Download or read book Incorporating Technology Into the Instruction of Social Studies written by Laura M. Goodin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this action research project report, the teacher researcher focused on the problem of lack of achievement of students in middle school social studies classes. The purpose of the project was to increase motivation and engagement of students by incorporating the use of technology; thereby, increasing achievement. A total of 105 sixth-grade students participated in the study, which took place September 6th through December 16, 2011. The teacher researcher documented low achievement in social studies by using a technology checklist, a social studies attitudinal survey, and behavior checklists. From the tools, the teacher researcher determined that students had a 25% greater rate of recreational technology usage versus school usage. Additionally, the teacher researcher discerned that 59% of students had social studies instruction one to three times a week, on average, as fifth graders, thus signaling limited exposure to social studies curriculum. By using the behavior checklists, the teacher researcher observed that students exhibited poor attention/concentration when traditional methods of instruction were employed. The teacher researcher chose to use technology as a solution strategy for increasing achievement in social studies. The following technologies were used during the intervention: SMARTboard, WebQuest, PowerPoint, and SMART Response Interactive Student Response System or clickers. A SMARTboard is an interactive projection display device that students interfaced with to experience a variety of activities. A WebQuest was an inquiry-oriented activity where students got the majority of their resources online and PowerPoint software allowed them to present information in a visually engaging manner. Finally, clickers were an interactive way for students to respond to questions, whereby results were tallied and immediate feedback given. Counterproductive behaviors that were evident with traditional pedagogy appeared to diminish when technology methods were being used. Disruptive behaviors decreased by nearly 45%. The teacher researcher was professionally satisfied that all of her students had now been exposed to the four technology methods of the project. As a result, the teacher researcher concluded that technology markedly increased motivation and engagement of students. Three appendixes present: (1) Technology Survey; (2) Student Attitudinal Survey Regarding Social Studies; and (3) Behavior Checklist. (Contains 6 tables and 18 figures.).

Download or read book Integrating social studies and reading in the 4th grade written by Jodi L. Watkins and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increased demands on teachers to improve state assessment scores in reading and mathematics, many teachers have decreased their time devoted to social studies or have stopped teaching the subject matter altogether. This situation is also present at Belding Area Schools where teachers are often glossing over social studies material to focus instructional time on reading and mathematics. This project demonstrates how one social studies unit could be integrated into the literacy block. Curriculum integration will allow teachers to maximize the content taught during the school day. This unit models how to effectively give prudence to both social studies and reading without compromising the standards of either subject matter.
