The Role of Technology in Bilingual Education: Developing a Culture of Excellence
Gomez, Belinda
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
According to the PEW Research Center (2014), Texas' Hispanic population comprises 39% of its overall population, twice the U. S. Hispanic population. Texas Education Agency (TEA) predicts a 14% increase in the next seven years, with a surge of about 40% in its English Language Learners (ELLs) population. Already, it reports Texas experienced a 20% student enrollment growth in the last ten years within the predominately Mexican-Americans in South Texas border. With a perpetual ELL student population increase, bilingual education programs need to consider emerging best practices. This qualitative case study explored the role of technology in bilingual education, focusing on teachers' perceptions, attitudes, and dispositions. Its findings provide data on experiences, practices, and technology use in bilingual education. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
