Description

The article proposes concept-guided development of technology use, in which school teams develop and implement forms of technology use in line with the school's educational concept, encompassing both pedagogical practices and the beliefs and perspectives motivating them. It is "a pedagogy-driven approach that aims to promote this fit" between proposed technology use and the school's educational concept. The approach calls for a definition of technology integration that gives room to a variety of educational concepts and encompasses teachers' perceptions, so that integration depends on fit with existing or desired classroom practices rather than on the school's pedagogy type.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • A team of teachers supported to reflect on the school's educational concept and design learning arrangements as they see best fit
  • A definition of technology integration that encompasses the perceptions of the teachers who carry out the concepts

Constraints

  • The labeling of school types as 'traditional' or 'innovative' is indicative rather than conclusive
  • To what extent achieved integration can be attributed to the approach cannot be concluded from the exploratory study

Target Learners

  • elementary school pupils (grades 2–6)

Learning Goals

  • integration of technology use into classroom practice in line with the school's educational concept
