Abstract:

The significance of integrating technology use in higher education instruction is undeniable. The benefits include those related to access to instruction by underserved populations, adequately preparing students for future careers, capitalizing on best instructional practices, developing higher order thinking activities, and engaging students whose relationships with technology are increasingly native, among others. The significance of the current study is based on the fact that few prior studies focused on the factors that support, or inhibit, the use of educational technology by faculty in s

Abstract:

Currently, increased attention has been placed on the development of physical educators who have the skills and confidence to implement educational technology to enhance student learning (InTASC 2011; CAEP, 2015). Though research of in-service and pre-service teacher perceptions towards educational technology has been examined (Juniu, Scrabis-Fletcher, Zullo, E., & Russo, 2015; Tondeur, Sang, Voogt, Fisser, & Ottenbreit-Leftwich, 2012), little focus has been placed on perceptions of physical education teacher education (PETE) university faculty.

Abstract:

This study was designed to examine six questions concerning faculty use of technology in postsecondary education in relationship to faculty age, gender, academic rank, employment status, principal field of teaching, and type of institution where the faculty member is employed. The study used archival data from the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF:04) to describe and examine faculty use of technology in postsecondary education. The researcher analyzed archival data collected in 2004 by RTI. In 2004 34,330 eligible sample members were identified; 29,820 (87%) were contacted, and 26

Abstract:

Almost from birth, children are immersed in a technologically rich world yet they often enter preschools that offer little to no use of technology. Preschool learning is tied to more traditional forms of reading and writing; this may be inconsistent with the ways children are learning at home and will learn in elementary school. Despite growing interest in creating learning environments that better mirror the technological experiences of the home, there is a significant gap in current research about how learning is affected in preschool environments designed with multiple forms of technology.
