Application: Writing the Research Questions...
I plan to determine if using technology in the elementary classroom will increase student's skills in communication and collaboration.
Who: 4th grade students in a low income community
What: educational technology and educational technology tools
Why: Impacts on students in the classroom and what advancements they gained towards communication and collaboration
QUESTIONS...
What kinds of technology are beneficial for students in the classroom and out of the classroom?
This question would be quantitaive with quasi experimental
How are students best prepared to use technology when resources are not readily available and they lack experience with technology tools?
This question would be interactive qualitative method
What technology tools best assist students with communication and collaboration in and out of school?
This question would be quantitative research with quasi experimental.
Hi Megan,
ReplyDeleteReading your problem statement and your research questions leads me to believe that your research would best fall into the method of Quantitative Quasi Experimental, if you are simply going to see the general effect of technology on skills and collaboration. Would you integrate technology into one class and not in another to determine the effect?
