The intended outcomes of the project are
1. To establish linkages (if any)
between
- Teacher style
- Pupil type
- Patterns of school/home-based ICT use/online
learning, and
- Student learning outcomes
2. To show the relationship
(if any) between
- Stages of ICT integration in the primary
classroom
- And Student learning outcomes
3. To identify & develop some relevant
theory, that is, a set of well founded principles in relation to the
incorporation of ICt into class programs
- Establish the basis of the theory
- Understand its limitations
- Understand it implications
4. Undertake some related action research
to investigate (and demonstrate) the potential use of the theory in
future situations and developments
- To better inform our actions, choices
and problem solving in relation to using ICT in classrooms
- To provide a sound basis for
- analysis ( and assessment & evaluation)
- design
- development
- and implementation
- To enhance the use of online learning
in primary classes
