Adopting the rationale of reflective thinking as the underlying philosophy, we developed the Student Teacher Network (STNet) to support student teaching. STNet provides an online place where university supervisors, experienced school teachers,...

CMC has started its influence of the teacher education programs in Taiwan. In this paper, we present the implementation of a web-based CMC system in our computer teacher education program. Thirty-four students enrolled in the Teaching Methods and...

The National Educational Resource Center (NERC) has been established since February 1998 in a multi-million U.S. dollar national project to promote usage of computing and telecommunication technologies in the K-12 schools across all subject areas....

This study investigated the communication styles of five mentors in telementoring a class of 33 preservice teachers. Electronic forum was the instrument of communications between the mentors and the students. Data collected in an 8-week period...

The infusion of technology in today's mathematics and science classrooms is a top priority of many school districts. This paper discusses similarities and differences between the technology goals, barriers and change models currently being used to...

Abstract: Graphing calculators have been suggested as one tool that can be used to facilitate increased integration between mathematics and science. This paper investigates the graphing calculator as an innovation with a group of high school...

The mathematics and science education communities are presently—and perhaps constantly—in a state of reform. The mathematics and science standards documents now include the use of technology as a common instructional goal. This article synthesizes...

We have conducted an action research to seek the possibility of incorporating pedagogical idea of project-based learning (PBL) in teaching and learning of computer science among high school students. In this study, the course instructor taught the...

The objective of this study is to evaluate a nationwide implemented teacher professional development program in Taiwan. The program is designed to provide teachers with the skills to effectively integrate information and communication technology ...

This paper analyzes research findings from the past ten years on the use of the Concerns-Based Adoption Model to measure technology implementation change. Ninety-seven papers were found that used CBAM as a theoretical framework to assess technology...

The purpose of this paper is to examine and describe the change process as technology is implemented in grades 4 and 5 mathematics classrooms. For this study technology is defined as manipulatives, calculators and computers. The Concerns Based...

The purpose of this paper is to examine and describe the change process as technology is implemented in secondary science and mathematics classrooms. This paper synthesizes the results from two studies, a qualitative study on implementation...

Reform documents in mathematics, science, and technology increasingly call for meaningful integration of technology in K-12 classrooms. Simultaneously, schools are being held more and more accountable for increased content at lower grades by both...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine mathematics and science teachers' initial and final perceptions of change as a result of their participation in a yearlong professional development program that emphasized integration of the math...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provide a voice for mathematics and science teacher's reflections. The teachers were all participants of a two-week technology immersion workshop that was part of a larger yearlong professional development...
