Faculty Integration of Technology into Instruction and Students' Perceptions of Computer Technology to Improve Student Learning
| Title: | Faculty Integration of Technology into Instruction and Students' Perceptions of Computer Technology to Improve Student Learning (ID: CSD5189) | | Author(s): | Jared Keengwe (University of North Dakota) | | Source: | Journal of Information Technology Education | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (10/11/2007) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | There has been a remarkable improvement in access and rate of adoption of technology in higher
education. Even so, reports indicate that faculty members are not integrating technology into instruction
in ways that make a difference in student learning (Cuban, 2001; McCannon & Crews,
2000). To help faculty make informed decisions on student learning, there is need for current
knowledge of faculty integration practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine
the nature of the relationship between faculty integration of technology into classroom instruction
and students' perceptions of the effect of computer technology to improve their learning.
A sample of at least 800 undergraduate students at a participating medium-sized midwest public
university was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The researcher delivered
and administered the surveys to the participating students and collected them after completion.
98% of the questionnaires were complete and retained for analysis. Two major statistical techniques | | View this resource: | |
What Have We Learned From 15 Years of Supporting the Development of Innovative Teaching Technology?
| Title: | What Have We Learned From 15 Years of Supporting the Development of Innovative Teaching Technology? (ID: CSD3879) | | Author(s): | Myles Boylan (National Science Foundation) | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2004) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | In those disciplines, departments, and institutions that have been investing significantly in technology, there is growing evidence that this is now paying off in the form of better retention of underrepresented groups of students and better student learning. Investment in education technology across disciplines and institutions is uneven. In no single discipline has a majority of the national faculty begun to use teaching methods that rely strongly on education technology. Economics is clearly laggard when compared to disciplines in the physical sciences, engineering, and mathematics, yet on the innovation frontier, there are highly promising technologies that have been created and are being tested. Assessment is receiving growing attention, and there is high promise of large advances. | | View this resource: | |
