Abstract
TEACHER BEHAVIOR IN THE DIGITAL AGE: A CASE STUDY OF SECONDARY TEACHERS’ PEDAGOGICAL TRANSFORMATION TO A ONE-TO-ONE ENVIRONMENT

The current study examined changes in teacher behavior during the transformation to a 1:1 technology initiative on a secondary campus in the Mid-Atlantic region. This study assessed the frequency of instructional and non-instructional technology use over time. In addition, levels of instructional technology use were considered using Puentedura’s (2005) SAMR model: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition levels. The current study considered the demographic characteristics of the participants related to changes in use of instructional and non-instructional technology. The current study considered: 1) sex, 2) building level, 3) years of service, 4) participation in a previous technology initiative, 5) academic department, and 6) education level. A review of the literature suggested that several barriers to implementation of successful 1:1 technology initiatives exist (Lewis, 2003; Pelgrum 2001; BECTA, 2004; Levin & Wadmany, 2008; Pundak & Rozner, 2007). The literature indicates that failure to address the barriers to 1:1 technology initiatives may diminish the impact of the project; barriers include: 1) access, 2) time, 3) perception, and 4) professional development. Three measures were used for data collection at two points in time: 1) survey, 2) walkthrough observations, 3) observations. Data analyzed reflected changes in several demographic areas, wherein the specific combination of significant data points indicated that another barrier might exist.
