本研究的目的是研究技术对学生学习新信息和保留所述信息的动机的影响。该程序涉及在为期九周的研究过程中完成两个项目。一组是创建传统的故事书项目。第二组是完成基于计算机的项目。第三组则可以选择完成哪个项目。一个前后保留测试，李克特量表调查，和项目后的采访被用来收集数据。这项研究的结果支持这样的想法，即当给予项目的选择，学生保留知识，无论是选择传统的或基于计算机的项目。在一个不断变化的技术世界，计算机似乎是在教育的最前沿。与此同时，使用技术进行教学的确切影响仍然是未知的。教学社区努力解决的一些问题是技术在学生学习欲望中的作用，以及技术如何影响信息的保留。更具体地说，这将是有用的，知道学生是否以更积极的方式参加社会研究类时，使用网络2.0工具时，使用基于纸张的方法。对于一个世纪的教育工作者来说，更深入地了解技术对教育的影响是很重要的。指导本研究的一般技术及其对动机和保留的影响2问题是“在多大程度上技术有助于学生的动机和保留信息在7年级的社会研究教室？为此，对于这项调查，研究人员概述了三大目标。首先，本研究的目的是揭示学生在教学时间与技术接触时的学习动机。第二个目标是测量使用两种不同的教学方法后的信息保留。本研究的最终目标是分析一个较小的特殊需要群体，以及他们的动机和保留是如何受到技术为基础的项目。
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact that technology has on a student's motivation to learn new information and retain said information. The procedure involved the completion of two projects over the course of a nine-week study. One group was to create traditional storybook projects. A second group was to complete computer-based projects. A third group was given the choice of which project to complete. A pre-post-retention test, Likert scale surveys, and post project interviews were used to collect the data. The results of this study support the idea that when given the choice of project, students retain knowledge no matter which project is chosen, traditional or computer-based. Introduction In an ever changing technological world, computers seem to be at the forefront of education. At the same time, the exact impact of using technology for instruction is still unknown. Some questions teaching communities grapple with are technology's role in student's desire to learn and how technology affects the retention of the information. More specifically, it would be useful to know whether students respond in a more positive manner to participating in a social studies class when using web 2.0 tools versus when using paper-based methods. For an educator in the 21 st century, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of technology on education. The general Technology and its Effect on Motivation and Retention 2 question that guided this study was “To what extent does technology help student motivation and retention of information in a 7 th grade Social Studies classroom? To this end, for this investigation, the researchers outlined three major goals. First, the purpose of this study is to uncover students' motivation for learning when engaging with technology during the instructional time. The second goal is to measure the retention of information after using two different methods of teaching. The final goal of this study is to analyze a smaller special needs group and how their motivation and retention are affected by technology-based projects.
