Serious criticisms of research on IT in education have been
published recently in both the UK and the USA. Researching IT in
Education aims to provoke thought and discussion among practising
researchers by considering a range of approaches to undertaking
quality research. Establishing priorities and directions for future
research in the sub-discipline of IT in education, the book is
structured around five foci:
- theory
- history
- research directions
- methodology
- research topics.
This book argues for the enormous power of IT to enable
fundamental research that both refines and develops theory and
practice in education. High quality research that advances
knowledge and educational practice in this area will generally
require longer timelines and more complex data collection and
analysis methods. The authors draw attention to the value of
theoretical frameworks used in mainstream educational research and
highlight the early theoretical work on the subject of IT in
education.
Researching IT in Education is the only book in its area to
focus on methodological and research design issues. The individual
chapters are contributed by expert researchers and leaders in the
field from ten countries, thus providing an unusually broad but
coherent international set of perspectives for the issues examined
in the book.
This book will benefit anyone interested in or undertaking
research on IT in education, including academics, research
students, teachers and policy-makers.
