Exploring the Dynamics of the 1:1 Classroom

AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (San Antonio, TX, Apr 27-May 1, 2017)
This exploratory study examines classroom dynamics, specifically instructional strategy, teacher location and teacher-student interactions, in the one-to-one classroom (where each student has their own tablet). We have conducted quantitative field observations that produced fine-grained data of three English teachers during 5-6 lessons. As findings suggest, 1:1 classes are managed significantly different with regards to instructional strategy, with more learner-centered activities being offered. Also, teachers in the 1:1 classroom tend to get farther away from their "safety zone" near the board and the teacher's desk. Differences in student-teacher interactions were mostly not statistically different.
