Instrumentation and Materials
The materials use required for conducting this research and analyzing the raw data collected will be minimal. A standard computer with sufficient and readily available statistical software (such as the standard SPSS) will be sufficient for both data storage and analysis, and even for much of the data collection, it is assumed. Depending on the accessibility of student and teacher records once proper authorization from all relevant parties has been obtained, it might be possible to conduct the majority of the research from this single computer.
An instrument to quantify the data contained in teacher and student performance reports may or may not be necessary, depending on the specifics of the school's record keeping statistics and overall system. If quantified information that reflects the specific performance areas identified as key measurements already exists, no further instrumentation will be necessary; statistical tables can be created directly from the records obtained. A method of standardizing and/or quantifying records might be needed, however, at which point a more intensive review of previous literature will be undertaken in order to identify a reliable tool that can be adapted to the purposes and needs of this specific research (Wallen & Fraenkel 2001). Once teacher education levels student performances have been quantified, the raw data can easily be made available in table form as well as analyzed, through standard regression techniques, to determine any existing correlation (Kaufhold 2007).
Data Collection, Analysis, and Presentation
The data collection processes will consist entirely of obtaining proper permissions from parents/guardians of student subjects (as well as the students themselves when over the age of 14), teachers, and other appropriate officials and administrators, then collecting records regarding student/classroom performance and levels of teacher education. As all of this information is available to the public school system, it is not expected to create major ethical concerns, though confidentiality and anonymity will be strictly maintained...
A sea of buildings would cover the Island of Manhattan, and the iron tentacles of urbanization would extend outward over hundreds of square miles, even into distant Riverdale in Westchester County - the once rural site of Wave Hill. The picturesque rail line that up the eastern shoreline of the Hudson had by now been joined by a maze of elevated railways, streetcar lines, and examples of a new
student population is changing, not simply demographically but also in terms of the skill sets students bring to the classroom. Teachers must change their approach to using technology, to engage student interest and to prepare students for the new workplace, which is technologically 'connected.' Often, faculty members may be less technologically aware than their students. Faculty members' levels of comfort with technology must be raised, and they must learn
patterns of training results emerge from the study? Has training and technology-improved student's classroom behavior? Has training and technology improved teachers' pedagogical skills/ Which training programs have been the most successful? People and research sites I would study I would study the classrooms and the teachers since they were the ones who lacked previous technical skills. My focus would, in particular, be on the students since the programs were devised to improve their class
