0:00:13prepared for the office of educational research an improvement us department of education many individuals
0:00:21contributed to the research
0:00:23analysis
0:00:24and thinking on which this report is based
0:00:27this tree site visit teams who prepared the case study reports that provided the foundation
0:00:32for the conclusions
0:00:34hypothesis
0:00:36technology can support constructivist learning activities that the classroom level and into the practical
0:00:43organisational factors promote technology implementations within schools
0:00:49this study aims
0:00:51you promote in understanding of how technology can support constructivist teaching at the classroom level
0:00:58section understanding requires both the framework relating technology used to desired student learning outcomes and
0:01:05multiple
0:01:06really describe concrete examples of good instructional uses of technology
0:01:12to describe and analyze technology implementation factors
0:01:17what promotes or inhibits affective implementations of technology
0:01:24study questions
0:01:25how technology and waveform fit together the broad research questions addressed by this study were
0:01:32does technology facilitate the transition to more emphasis on constructivist project based learning
0:01:39what's the points are required to make technology an effective tool for constructivist approach is
0:01:46in a critical mass of classrooms within a school what are the impact on students
0:01:51and teachers when technology is introduced along with constructivist learning activities
0:01:57research nineteen for schools were selected to person evaluation teams of is in each of
0:02:04the nine sites for a period of three to eight days over a two year
0:02:08period each side
0:02:10initial brief observations of a broad range of classrooms in order to pick two classrooms
0:02:16for more intensive observation and videotaping criteria for choosing his classrooms where combination of the
0:02:24theoretical and the pragmatic from the early discussions with administrators and teachers
0:02:30classrooms were selected that were using technology into like ways to support
0:02:36research the researchers interviewed individual students or small groups as they developed or exhibited their
0:02:43technology based work are demonstrated how they use particular pieces of software observed and videotaped
0:02:50classes school activities feature meetings and training
0:02:55and other key events related to technology using these classrooms
0:03:00interview with a wide range of other school respondents including principles project coordinators
0:03:07and school technology coordinators
0:03:10interview representatives of other institutions that for a pivotal on the schools reform effort
0:03:16findings the search output then was organized into six major categories
0:03:22technology implementation technology conducts curriculum content and technology uses
0:03:29we form features of technology you lose
0:03:32feature training and outcomes student outcomes
0:03:36findings
0:03:38student benefits from technology in the classroom
0:03:41adding to the students perception that their work is authentic and important
0:03:46increasing the complexity with which students can deal successfully
0:03:50dramatically enhancing student motivation and self esteem
0:03:55creating a multiplicity of rules
0:03:58instigating greater collaboration
0:04:01feature benefits from technology in the classroom an increase in their technology and pedagogical scales
0:04:08greater collaboration within their own school
0:04:11contact in collaboration with external school reform and research organisations
0:04:17involvement in training and professional conferences
0:04:23is highly improbable at the united states educational system will take advantage of these activities
0:04:29described in this case study unless the private sector engages actively over the long term
0:04:36research considers technology in the classroom to be a benefit but it is coupled with
0:04:41the realisation that without financial help in teacher training that it is an uphill
