Abstract:

“This study examined the relationship of technology use and facilitation of inquiry-based teaching across the curriculum through the implementation of a one-to-one technology pilot. The study also explored which technology-related factors (teacher technology use, student technology use, barriers encountered with technology, teachers’ comfort with technology) best predict the use of inquiry-based teaching methods with students. In addition, the researcher examined changes (pre-post) in the use of inquiry-based methods as a result of the one-to-one pilot. The research design of this study is correlational since the researcher primarily examined multiple continuous independent variables (teacher technology use, student technology use, barriers encountered with technology, teachers’ comfort with technology) in relation to one continuous dependent variable (inquiry-based teaching methods).”
