Download or read book Teacher Perceptions of the Social Emotional Impacts of Remote Learning on Students with Exceptionalities written by Agnieszka Petlik and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic forced a nationwide shutdown of in-person learning. Remote learning became the new, temporary model of education for students. The intention of this study was to gather teacher perceptions and experiences to understand the potential outcomes of remote learning on students with exceptionalities and their social and emotional learning. The theoretical foundation for this study was derived from four different models. These included the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning"s (CASEL) Five Competencies model, which focuses on social and emotional learning, and the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) model, which focuses on best practices to engage all learners in their environment. The study also used the substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition (SAMR) model and the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) model that include practices for teaching with technology to enhance learning. The research questions addressed were as follows: what are teachers" perceptions about the social and emotional impacts of remote learning on students with exceptionalities?; how do teachers perceive the impacts of remote learning within the two schools?; and what technology best practices and professional learning do teachers perceive impacted students with exceptionalities? The research design for this qualitative study, encompassed multiple cases that included teacher interviews with a semi-structured interview protocol. The sample for this study consisted of 16 educators: eight elementary general education teachers, three elementary special education teachers, and five elementary related service providers. Interviews were transcribed and coded using grounded theory. The themes that emerged were as follows: students" SEL deficits and exceptions, challenges among stakeholders, and superficial technology knowledge and skills. The data strongly suggest the need for change. Implications and recommendations for schools and districts, teacher preparation programs, and policy makers are presented. For example, teachers should have time to learn SEL curriculum and also to collaborate with colleagues to support one another and share ideas and practices. The findings of this study may help support the reimagining of special education, teacher practices, and how to integrate social and emotional learning into curriculum throughout the day.
Download or read book Living and Learning with New Media written by Mizuko Ito and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results of an ambitious three-year ethnographic study, funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings—at home, in after school programs, and in online spaces. It offers a condensed version of a longer treatment provided in the book Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out (MIT Press, 2009). The authors present empirical data on new media in the lives of American youth in order to reflect upon the relationship between new media and learning. In one of the largest qualitative and ethnographic studies of American youth culture, the authors view the relationship of youth and new media not simply in terms of technology trends but situated within the broader structural conditions of childhood and the negotiations with adults that frame the experience of youth in the United States. The book that this report summarizes was written as a collaborative effort by members of the Digital Youth Project, a three-year research effort funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California. John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Reports on Digital Media and Learning

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 Digital Immigrant Teacher Perceptions of Social Media as it Influences the Affective and Cognitive Development of Students written by Robert Williams and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study is to describe how digital immigrant teachers perceive the influence of social media on the affective and cognitive development of students at three high schools in Alabama. As the prevalence of social technologies is increasing, educators must understand how it is affecting students in order to instruct students and utilize technologies in an effective manner. Thus, a phenomenological study should inform teacher practitioners on how to address concerns and issues associated with social media in order to positively influence the learning environment. Ten teachers were selected from one private and two public high schools in Alabama. Data was collected through interviews, observations and focus groups. Data was analyzed through transcendental analysis consisting of horizontalization, describing, classifying, and interpreting in order to develop themes; textural and structural descriptions were developed in order to determine the essence of the phenomenon. While negative aspects such as the prevalence of "drama," poor interpersonal communication skills, and improper writing in formal settings were voiced, digital immigrant teachers acknowledged collaboration, the potential for enhanced teacher-student relationships, and an additional communication forum as positive implications for social media. Keywords: digital immigrants, digital natives, socially interactive technology (SIT), social networking media (SNS), social media, socioculturalism/sociocultural psychology.

This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015-16, the Middle Level Education Research Special Interest Group (MLER SIG), an affiliate of the American Educational Research Association, undertook a collaborative project—the development of a new middle grades education research agenda. The purpose of the MLER SIG Research Agenda (Mertens et al., 2016) was to develop a set of questions that would guide the direction of middle grades education research. Ideally, this Research Agenda would serve to prompt discourse and generate research projects that could contribute to the middle grades knowledge base. Members of the MLER SIG identified eight research areas: (a) young adolescent development, (b) cultural responsiveness, (c) special populations, (d) educator development, (e) curriculum, (f) social and emotional learning, (g) digital technologies, and (h) school structures. This volume contains the extensive literature reviews and subsequent research questions for each of the research topics.
Download or read book Young Children and Families in the Information Age written by Kelly L. Heider and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book presents the most recent theory, research and practice on information and technology literacy as it relates to the education of young children. Because computers have made it so easy to disseminate information, the amount of available information has grown at an exponential rate, making it impossible for educators to prepare students for the future without teaching them how to be effective information managers and technology users. Although much has been written about information literacy and technology literacy in secondary education, there is very little published research about these literacies in early childhood education. Recently, the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children’s Media at Saint Vincent College published a position statement on using technology and interactive media as tools in early childhood programs. This statement recommends more research “to better understand how young children use and learn with technology and interactive media and also to better understand any short- and long-term effects.” Many assume that today’s young children are “digital natives” with a great understanding of technology. However, children may know how to operate digital technology but be unaware of its dangers or its value to extend their abilities. This book argues that information and technology literacy include more than just familiarity with the digital environment. They include using technology safely and ethically to demonstrate creativity and innovation; to communicate and collaborate; to conduct research and use information and to think critically, solve problems and make decisions.
