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 2009 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This descriptive research design examined teachers’ attitudes concerning computers and using computers in the classroom. The study used a survey which investigated teachers’ attitudes concerning the use of computers in the classroom, if computer training had any effect on teachers using computers and if teachers’ age and/or teaching experience affected teachers comfort level in using computers in the classroom. Thirty certified Pre-Kindergarten – fifth grade classroom teachers from a rural southwest Georgia public elementary school participated in the survey. The teachers’ attitudes were discovered by utilizing a survey. It was expected that the results would indicate a need for teachers to receive further training and integrating technology into the classroom. It was expected that the results would indicate a need for teachers to daily use computers in the classroom and to continuously receive training on how to integrate computers into the classroom.

Also included are papers from the chairpersons of the six IFIP Working Groups on education (elementary/primary education, secondary education, university education, vocational education and training, research on educational applications and distance learning). In these papers the work in the groups is explained and a basis is given for the work of Professional Groups during the world conference. In the Professional Groups experts share their experience and expertise with other expert practitioners and contribute to a postconference report which will determine future actions of IFIP with respect to education.

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 2012-11-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Develop new strategies for using computers in the classroom Educators have talked about using information technology to improve teaching since the beginning of the modern computer movement but true integration remains an elusive goal—for most. Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education finds teachers who have managed to take advantage of the sophistication, power, and affordability of today’s technology to develop new and better strategies for learning, despite the absence of an effective institutional infrastructure. This unique book reviews effective Type II teaching applications and software used at all educational levels, including Lego/Logo technologies, idea technologies, graphics software, laptop computers, and handheld computers. Information technology in schools has failed to fulfill its considerable potential because without a widespread instructional support system, computers are generally poorly used and not integrated meaningfully into classroom activities. But some educators have still been able to implement Type II applications of information technology in their educational settings. Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education looks at their innovative methods of using computers to bring about more effective teaching—and learning. Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education examines: computer activities of grade 1-5 students using Lego/Logo technologies using Kid-Pix graphics software for creative activities the Technology Integration Assessment Instrument (TIAI) gender disparity in computer-oriented problem solving a three-tiered, idea-technology classification system pre-service teacher preparation assistive technology definitions, legislation, and implementation issues lesson plans and document techniques for laptop computers an action/instructional model for using handheld wireless computers in the classroom Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education is an invaluable resource for academics working in information technology and education, and for K-12 teachers and administrators at all levels.

Download or read book High School Teacher Attitudes Towards and Experiences with Classroom Computer Technology written by Christopher M. Hamady and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructivism, a modern learning philosophy that focuses on a student's experiences within the learning environment rather than on an instructor's influence, can attribute its roots, in part, to the time of John Dewey: the early 1900s. While many educators espouse a belief and commitment to constructivist instructional design, few of them actively engage in its classroom implementation. A number of studies have taken place attempting to determine why teachers are not implementing constructivist-designed lessons in the classroom, and why teachers are not implementing computer technology tools at a "high level." The literature investigates several factors that can potentially lead to both better integration of educational technology, and better instruction. The purpose of this study was to investigate a potential relationship between the experiences that high school teachers have with their district-assigned computers, and what effect, if any, those experiences had on their willingness to integrate computer technology into classroom instruction, as well as their beliefs surrounding the effectiveness of computer technology to enhance instruction and improve learning. Social constructivism was selected as the research theory for this study. The results show that there is no significant difference in faculty experiences with their computers based on the computing platform (operating system), and no difference regarding faculty's willingness to integrate technology, or their beliefs about computer technology integration's effectiveness to improve instruction. However, the Rasch analysis used in this study was able to determine what computing tasks faculty find easy to respond positively toward, and what tasks are difficult to respond to with positive affirmation. This information provides data that can measure computing task difficulty, and enable the creation of a strata of computing tasks that can be used to: assist with future studies regarding faculty technology integration, determine high-level technology skills and how best to structure professional development, and what computer technology tools might be best for constructivist-lesson design and implementation. Constructivist lessons focus on students creating their own learning, and this study data can help pinpoint relevant computing tasks that can assist with that end objective.
