2021 Workshops

Workshop 1:  Q-Methodology as a Technology Infusion Assessment Process

Date TBA

Abstract: Q methodology is one approach to examine teacher education faculty perceptions of how technology can influence learning, faculty confidence in preparing candidates to use technology, program design for technology integration, and leadership support for faculty and candidate development. The workshop will provide a history and purpose of Q methodology; introduction to factors & factor analysis; constructing a Q set; conducting a Q sort; and data analysis. During the workshop, you will see how participants load onto factors related to institutional challenges, development of programs, and faculty confidence issues. Lastly, concept of consensus items about program design for technology infusion, the need for intentional curriculum design, fieldwork, and assessment to prepare candidates for technology use will be connected to Q methodology research.

Objectives: The ability to accurately determine how well technology is infused across teacher education programs remains challenging. The main objective of this workshop is to present a process for teacher educators supporting technology infusion to assess technology use. Participants will learn about Q-methodology as a research approach to understand more about teacher educator perceptions of technology infusion. The workshop will provide research tools, process guidance, and invitations to participate

Resources and best practices for formative assessment, small group virtual instruction, and online communication will be the focus of Module 4. Finally, Module Five looks at best practices for communicating with parents. Participants will be provided with time to collaborate with one another and interact with the tools and strategies covered in the workshop.

Objectives:
