Project Overview

Project Abstract

The action research project presented here examines the impact teachers' expectations have on a students' relationship with technology. First, it describes the research questions I formulated to guide my proposed research. Current and relevant literature on this topic is then explored to provide context. This project also describes the diverse population that this intervention is intended for, including descriptions of potential focus students. The proposal then describes a reflective questioning intervention designed to improve teachers’ expectations and students’ perceptions of technology. This project also showcases the proposed pre-tests and post- tests that would be employed to measure the effectiveness of this intervention. Lastly, this project provides a plan for analyzing and reporting data, as well as a personal reflection of this process.
