TEACHERS’ EXPECTATIONS REGARDING POSSIBILITIES AND CHALLENGES OF LEARNING PRACTICES AND PROCESSSES IN TWO SCHOOLS IN A 1:1 COMPUTER INITIVATIVE Marcia J. P. Lindqvist, Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Education, Umeå University, Sweden
The uptake and use of digital technologies in the
classroom will be studied in Unos Umeå, a joint 1:1 project between
Umeå University and the municipality of Umeå in Sweden. This paper
presents some preliminary findings of the first survey completed by
25 teachers in one school in the project. Questions posed regarded
expectations concerning preparedness, professional training, work
methods and new forms of teaching. The 1:1 initiative provides both
possibilities and challenges, as teachers’ expectations appear to be
optimistic, although somewhat reserved, realizing the importance and
the necessity of the uptake and use of digital technologies in the
classroom. |
