Research

Title journal: Evaluating The Implementation Fidelity of Technology Immersion and Its Relationship with Students Achievement.

Paraphrase abstract: In this journal; the Texas centre for educational research, they did a research on across three years for 21 immersion schools in technology by providing a laptop for each student and teacher, wireless, internet access, curricular and assessment resources, professional development, and technical and relating to teaching support. This article examines the fidelity of model implementation and associations between implementation indicators and student achievement. They found that immersion support and classroom immersion were inconsistent and mostly not statistically significant predictors of student achievement, whereas students use of laptops outside of school for homework and learning games was the strongest put into effect predictor of achievement.

Research findings that can relate to my teaching:

1.      Despite growing interest in and around computing
2.      Evidence on the effectiveness of computing models for improving teacher and student outcomes.
3.      To get the idea of methodologies challenges and solutions for assessing the effectiveness of these emerging technology rich educational settings.
4.      A way to improve teaching, learning and students outcomes.
5.      To develop centre learning for the student.
