"Measuring Student Cognitive Engagement When Using Technology" was designed to determine if students were using the recently purchased Chromebooks as well as if they were cognitively engaged when using the technology. Data collected using the IPI-T process suggested teachers were typically the users of the technology, students were often…

Previous studies analyzed how personality traits relate to education, but not in relation to technology implementation. Limited knowledge can lead to inadequate professional development. This study provided insight on the "level of technology implementation" (LoTi) and the personality traits of private school principals. The theoretical…

This quantitative study examined the self-efficacy of music teachers in each of the technological, pedagogical, and technological knowledge (M-TPACK) domains with a particular focus on their technological self-efficacy. Bauer's (2013) M-TPACK questionnaire was used as its measurement tool and was sent to members of the National Association for…

A significant majority of research focusing on both technology and burnout has focused on how new technology affects the job-related attitudes of the employees. This research looked at technology and burnout from a different perspective. The technology in question had been in place for several years. Most University System of Georgia (USG) faculty…

This qualitative dissertation explores the perceptions of how and why teachers might integrate technology to support their goals of equity and inclusion with a group of teachers who identify as culturally responsive in their pedagogy and describe themselves as fluent in the use of technology in school. Teachers working with students of diverse…

Innovation includes new inventions, new ideas, or new methods. Everett Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations framework, however, suggests not all are willing to adopt innovation. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) indicates that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use influence one's choice to use available technology. Since the nature of work is…

At Grand Intermediate School, teachers work with a large population of English language learners (ELL). The teachers were all trained to use the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol Model (Echevarria, Vogt, and Short, 2017) to help ELL students increase their English fluency and succeed academically. The instructional strategies in place,…

The study sought to investigate to what extent a technology-integration course constructed with guidance from the Learning By Design (LBD) instructional approach and TPACK instructional methods facilitates preservice teachers' TPACK development at a mid-sized Midwestern university in the United States. The study employed a case study approach and…

Four 5th grade and four 6th grade classes (145 students aged…
