Abstract:
School districts continue to integrate emerging technologies and expectations for 21st century teaching and learning. This movement began with release of Goals 2000 (1994) and has continued through National Education Technology Plan (2010) that noted the “challenge for our education system is to leverage technology to create relevant learning experiences that mirror students’ daily lives and the reality of their futures.” In order to meet that challenge, schools must enlist teachers who are prepared to teach 21st century skills in the technology-rich classroom.

Educational Administration<br>Ed.D.<br>The primary goal of this study was to identify how middle school language teachers bridge the skills acquired and strategies taught in an elementary school language program with the skills taught and practiced at the middle school level. The study will answer in detail this question: What perceptions do middle school teachers form regarding their students' language skills and how do these perceptions impact a world language program? By identifying the language teachers' current perceptions as they relate to their lesson design and delivery, school distric

Abstract:
The Malaysian Eleventh Plan (2016-2020) has digital literacy as one of the key drivers to support the pillar of “leveraging Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to scale up quality learning” (Ministry of Education, 2013, p. 20). This policy is part of a broader plan aimed to prepare students for the 21st century workforce. To achieve this goal, in 2016, the Digital Competency Standard (DCS) was developed to measure and provide a national framework for the reporting of student performance in digital literacy, based on three main domains: Technology, Digital citizenship and Cognitive.

Abstract:
<p> Research indicates a shortage of principals by the year 2012 (NASSP, 2002). While graduate schools indicate an increase in the number of graduating candidates in school administration, many of these candidates are choosing not to enter the profession (Grogan &amp; Andrews, 2002). Existing principals are leaving their positions prematurely (Battle &amp; Gruber, 2010) which leads to the overarching question guiding this study: Are school administrators prepared to lead in the 21st century? The purpose of the study was twofold: (1) to determine individual members of school leadership tea

In 2010, an Association of Public and Land Grant Universities (APLU) study (Crawford, 2010) found that the agricultural industry representatives, Land Grant University alumni, and government employees look for certain skillsets (e.g., communication, leadership) in prospective employees. With the U.S economy recovering from a major economic recession, a greater number of new UA graduates with undergraduate degrees from CALS have cause to be concerned about their overall workforce competitiveness.

Denna studie är en kvalitativ intervjustudie som behandlar IKT-verktyg och dess inverkan på grundskolans undervisning. Studien bygger på en analys av sex stycken lärarintervjuer där lärarna utifrån sina erfarenheter och perspektiv ger en tydligare bild av de positiva och negativa aspekterna av surfplattans användning i grundskolans undervisning. Den syftar även på att analysera och synliggöra elever som eventuellt kan gynnas eller missgynnas av att ha en surfplatta i sin undervisning. Studien belyser olika påverkansfaktorer till IKT-användningen, exempelvis lärares IKT-kompetens, lärares attit

Abstract:
In order to advance in the 21st Century, students must be able to develop complex inquiry skills and apply critical thinking while mastering understanding of concepts. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Web-based collaboration on students' essential inquiry skills and understanding of genetic concepts. The effects on critical thinking, student involvement, and teacher attitudes were also determined. This project considered the effects of using a Wikispaces platform in an introductory biology class at a small rural high school in Northwest, Colorado. Students content unde
