High School Teachers Use and Management of Digital Devices in Classroom Instruction: A Comparative Multi-Site Case Study
2020
Overview
The problem addressed in this qualitative comparative case study was that digital devices such as smartphones, iPads, and laptop computers can have both positive and negative effects on student learning when used as learning tools within instruction. The purpose of this study was to explore how teachers used digital devices as learning tools in instruction, how teachers managed device use, and how teacher’s perceptions of device use for student learning influenced the way these devices were used in instruction. Data was collected from two high schools. Potential participants completed a survey through email invitation to determine eligibility. Possible participants who meet eligibility requirements were chosen randomly to include 8 teachers from each study site who taught core subjects of English, mathematics, the sciences and social studies. Site permissions and Institutional Review Board permission were obtained prior to data collection. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. Informed consent was obtained from all participants. Data was analyzed using ATLAS.ti software to identify emergent, convergent, and divergent themes both within and across cases. . The results from this study revealed that when teachers used digital devices in engaging ways that encourage students to explore and expand the curriculum, student engagement was increased, and distractions were decreased. The results of this study added to the literature by deepening the understanding of digital devices used as learning tools in instruction from the perspectives of the teachers. The results may aid in the development of classroom strategies that will help teachers use and manage digital device use effectively.
