I Am Because We Are Creative Equals: Technology Skills as Defined, Discussed, and Demonstrated by Students in a Middle School
Jordan, Renee
AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (San Antonio, TX, Apr 27-May 1, 2017)
Without equal educational opportunities to engage with technology, students who lack such opportunities are put at a disadvantage. In response to this inequality and the need for STEM enrichment opportunities, a research team from a Learning Technologies Division in a College of Education and Human Development at a local university partners with an after-school program at an "urban" middle school. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore how students attending a middle school engage with technology in the pilot year of an after-school program. Specifically, I use the following questions to frame my investigation: 1. How do students use technology to demonstrate creativity? 2. How do students go about their creation processes? 3. How do students talk about their processes?
