A phenomenological examination of faculty and curricular change in a technology-rich environment / Title on signature form: Phenomenological examination of university faculty and curricular change in a technology-rich environment

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to document the
perceptions that faculty hold regarding changes made to their curricular, pedagogical, and
personal practices in an introduction to education course during the implementation of a
one-to-one laptop initiative at a medium-sized Midwestern university teacher’s college.
Technology transforms the work of faculty in higher education. Faculty face
changes that are revolutionizing their personal and professional teaching lives because of
choices that universities have to make in order to meet the demands of the current student
body as well as state and national standards. Institutional support including faculty
driven, content-specific professional development, on-demand help, hands-on practice
time, and individualized attention are paramount for faculty learning and continuing to
engage in technology integration to meet the learning needs of today’s technology-savvy
students. / Access to thesis and accompanying PDF permanently restricted to Ball State community only / Department of Educational Studies
