ICT-integration in education:A multidimentional approach
Jo TondeurGhent University
University of Alcala:12 March 2013
Aim of the workshop (?)
• Focus on the multidimensional interaction of both teacher and school characteristics in developing a richerunderstanding of the complex process of ICT integration in education.
• Differential types of ICT use will be considered and how theyare related to variables such as teacher attitudes, educationalbeliefs, and school policies.
• We provide “good” practices and reflect about the participants own beliefs about education related to their useof technology, the development of an ICT policy plan, etc.
• For researchers the focus can be on the different research methods used.

Mobile and wireless communication technologies could play an important role in transforming the
ways in which we teach and learn
(Liu & Hwang, 2010)
◗ Help teachers in adapting instruction and facilitate richer interactions (Roschelle et al., 2007)
◗ Allow teachers and students to access and create multimedia materials (Oakley, Pegrum, Faulkner & Striepe, 2012)
◗ Learn in a multiplicity of (formal and informal) settings (Kearney et al., 2012)
◗ Contribute to the development of digital literacycompetences (e.g. Oakley, Pegrum, Faulkner & Striepe, 2012)

It’s not so much the program;
more what you do with it
[Jones, 1986]
Linking ICT use and educational beliefs
• ICT integration cannot be restricted to merely technology-related factors, such as computer attitudes(Albirini, 2006; Hermans et al. , 2008)
• Teachers more easily accept innovations that are in accordance with their educational beliefs (Ertmer, 2005)
• Constructivist beliefs foster computer use in education(e.g., Becker, 2001)
• Which teacher beliefs are connected to which types of computer use?
Teacher Beliefs Scale (Woolley, Benjamin, & Woolley , 2004)
•“I like to make curriculum choices for students because they can’t know what they need to learn.”
•“For assessment purposes, I’m interested in what students can do independently”
"Learning is not a spectator sport.
Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers,
memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers.
They must talk about what they are learning,
write reflectively about it, relate it to past
experiences, and apply it to their daily lives.
They must make what they learn part of themselves”
(Chickering & Gamson, 1987)

Teacher Beliefs Scale (Woolley, Benjamin, & Woolley, 2004)
•“I believe that expanding on students’ ideas is an effective way to build my curriculum.”
•“I involve students in evaluating their own work and setting their own goals.”
•“I make it a priority in my course to give students time to work together when I am not directing them”

Are universities doing a better job because of their
embrace of technology?
Can universities improve their teaching effectiveness
by investing more heavily in technology?
How can universities best use technology?
Questions spring up on all sides.
“Although several evaluators found
educationally meaningful effects on
student achievement in reading, most
studies found only small effects in
this area.”
Meta-analysis
• Letterie (2003)
‣ Quality of the research questioned
• Is it possible to comme to a final conclusion about ICT in education?
‣ Dependent variables too diverse (scores, time, satisfaction, confidence, feasibility, …)
‣ Independent variables too diverse
‣ Contexts/conditions/audiences too diverse
Richard E. Mayer

“When we pull the lever air can pass via the valve in the room between valce and air-valve. When we push the lever, the valve is shut closed and the air-valcve is pressed open so that air is pushed outside via the air-valveinto the tire.”

room between valce and air-valve. When we push the lever,,
the valve is shut closed and the air-valcve is pressed open
so that air is pushed outside via the air-valve into the tire.”
When we pull
the lever,
Air passes
along the
valve
And air enters the room between
The valve and air-valve
When we push
the lever
The valve
closes
And air is pressed through the
air-valve to the tire.

ICT fosters information presentation
• Practical relevance: imaging, virtual reality, 3D, CAVE-technologies
• Empirical base: convincing impact in variety of content domains (Mayer, 2003)
‣ Higher retention
‣ Better transfer of knowledge

ICT fosters information organisation
• Higher education: processing large amounts of
complex and interrelated information.
• Information organisation implies structuring,
comparing, ordering, relating, and analysing of
new information.

Knowledge integration: games
• Howell (2005) - overview of ICT-based interactive games and evaluative research; some relevant for (para)medical education
• Mann, Eidelson, Fukuchi, Nissman, Robertson, & Jardines (2002) - computer assisted board game to manage patients with breast cancer. Students send the patient to physical examination, mammography, ultrasound, or office procedures, … : significantlearning gains about work-up procedures.

Conclusions
• Relevance of ICT in medical education should consider the expected outcomes, context, conditions and target audience
• Is ICT effective? Wrong question‣ (Jacobsen, 2001) The major question is now: under what circumstances, in what particular learning environment, with what type of students and in view of what kind of learning tasks, does ICT have an impact?
• ICT impact positive IF …‣ Combined with real life experiences
‣ Sufficient prior knowledge available
‣ Novice or advanced student
‣ Staff development
• Most convincing impact: ‣ Microlevel: collaborative learning
‣ Mesolevel: flexibility
