Assessing and Improving Technology Integration Skills for Preservice Teachers Using the Teacher Work Sample
Graham, Charles R.; Tripp, Tonya; Wentworth, Nancy
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v41 n1 p39-62 2009
This study explores the efforts at Brigham Young University to improve preservice candidates' technology integration using the Teacher Work Sample (TWS) as an assessment tool. Baseline data that was analyzed from 95 TWSs indicated that students were predominantly using technology for productivity and information presentation purposes even though they had been taught to use technology for active student learning. Researchers discovered that decisions made about technology integration were heavily influenced by field instructors and TWS rubrics. An intervention plan was developed to train field instructors and 99 TWSs were analyzed the following year. The TWSs showed noticeable improvements including increases in the percentage of candidates who involved their K-12 students in using technology in their lessons. (Contains 4 tables and 6 figures.)
