IEA International Computer and Information Literacy Study 2023
This open access book presents the conceptual and operational foundations of the IEA International Computer and Information Literacy Study (2023), which is designed to assess how well students are prepared for study, work, and life in a digital world. The study measures international differences in students’ computer and information literacy (CIL): their ability to use computers to investigate, create, participate and communicate at home, at school, in the workplace and in the community. Participating countries also have an option for their students to complete an assessment of computational thinking (CT). The ICILS assessment framework articulates the basic structure of the study. It provides a description of the field and the constructs to be measured. It outlines the design and content of the measurement instruments, sets down the rationale for those designs, and describes how measures generated by those instruments relate to the constructs. In addition, it hypothesizes relations between constructs so as to provide the foundation for some of the analyses that follow.
Learning First, Technology Second in Practice
"After observing teachers and students interact with technology over many years, Liz Kolb began to wonder: How do we move students from a high-attention, low-commitment to learning with digital devices to a high-attention, high-commitment to learning tasks? Her observations led her down a path of extensive research that informed the development of the Triple E Framework (covered in the 2017 ISTE book Learning First, Technology Second). Kolb found that teachers needed a framework based on good learning practices with technology rather than a focus on technology tools themselves. With this in mind, she developed the Triple E Framework, in which the learning goal - not the tool - is the most im...
Learning Technologies
With a historical context covering the past 20 years, this book provides in-depth discussions of research, trends, and issues related to learning technologies in K-12 schools, higher education settings, and educational administration in the U.S. Given the remote learning challenges and opportunities that the COVID-19 pandemic has recently brought to our attention, world-wide interest in educational technology-related issues is at its peak. Therefore, this book is specifically directed at the entire educational technology field, educators, educational leaders, researchers, and policymakers alike who are interested in learning technologies in the U.S. educational system. Three main resources g...
Making the Move With Ed Tech
Countless technology tools are available to educators. But integrating technology in the classroom in a purposeful way is challenging. In this book, the authors help educators wade through ed-tech jargon and frameworks and learn to employ ed-tech tools strategically. Explore moves, or instructional strategies, both familiar and new, that facilitate student inquiry, dialogue, critical thinking, and creativity. This book will help K–12 teachers: Improve their understanding of ed-tech tools and frameworks Explore both familiar and new instructional strategies, or moves Learn to employ educational technology tools in the service of instructional strategies Align instructional strategies with n...
Educational Media and Technology Yearbook 2006
The 2006 volume of the 31 year old Educational Media and Technology Yearbook series continues the legacy of its predecessors. It highlights the major trends of the previous year, noting both renewed interest in multicultural perspectives and the ever-growing interest in online learning. It discusses advances in the school and library media worlds, which continue to reel from budget cuts and hiring freezes. It profiles two outstanding individuals: Michael Molenda (Associate Professor, Instructional Systems Technology, Indiana University, Bloomington) and Ron Oliver (Foundation Professor of Interactive Multimedia, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia). It also identifies instructional technology-related organizations and graduate programs in North America. The book concludes with a mediagraphy of journals, books, ERIC documents, journal articles, and nonprint resources. As a repository of so much valuable data and information, it is, quite simply, a volume no self-respecting media and technology professional should be without.
Handbook of Research on Integrating Computer Science and Computational Thinking in K-12 Education
As technology continues to develop and prove its importance in modern society, certain professions are acclimating. Aspects such as computer science and computational thinking are becoming essential areas of study. Implementing these subject areas into teaching practices is necessary for younger generations to adapt to the developing world. There is a critical need to examine the pedagogical implications of these technological skills and implement them into the global curriculum. The Handbook of Research on Integrating Computer Science and Computational Thinking in K-12 Education is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of computer science curriculum development within primary and secondary education. While highlighting topics including pedagogical implications, comprehensive techniques, and teacher preparation models, this book is ideally designed for teachers, IT consultants, curriculum developers, instructional designers, educational software developers, higher education faculty, administrators, policymakers, researchers, and graduate students.
Putting Out Fires
"Many educators say they spend much of the school day tackling one problem after another, making them feel like they're constantly "putting out fires." This book will help educators solve problems using the author's "Putting Out Fires Framework," which demonstrates how sorting possible solutions - into Extinguish, Detect, Contain and Prevent categories - can help teachers and administrators think through the impact of various solutions and make a more informed decision before implementing a solution. In this interactive book, readers will apply a design thinking process to identify a problem, consider the people involved and analyze possible solutions. Each chapter features two example problems related to edtech - one for classroom teachers and one for administrators - to illustrate how to apply the framework for effective problem-solving. In the process of working through the book, you'll discover how selecting the best solution is dependent on several variables, including impact, outcome and the people involved"--
The SAGE Encyclopedia of Online Education
Online education, both by for-profit institutions and within traditional universities, has seen recent tremendous growth and appeal - but online education has many aspects that are not well understood. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Online Education provides a thorough and engaging reference on all aspects of this field, from the theoretical dimensions of teaching online to the technological aspects of implementing online courses—with a central focus on the effective education of students. Key topics explored through over 350 entries include: · Technology used in the online classroom · Institutions that have contributed to the growth of online education · Pedagogical basis and strategies of online education · Effectiveness and assessment · Different types of online education and best practices · The changing role of online education in the global education system
