Case Studies of the Appropriation of Advanced Technology into a School: Cultures, Classroom Practice, Technology andLearning

这项工作的目的是产生一系列的案例研究，将先进的技术运用到教师的日常课堂实践中。我们将跟随一组教师——他们既有精通技术、专业创新的，也有完全不懂电脑的——学习并寻求将一种灵活、先进的技术——Boxer系统——融入到他们的日常教学中。案例研究将是解释性和综合性的，围绕这些教师的实践和变革过程中出现的重要主题进行组织。每项研究都将涉及“分层分析”，包括：教师的价值观和学习目标，他们在课堂上使用的可重复模式（活动结构），教师和学生复制这种模式所需的技能，以及由此产生的学习类型。这些案例研究的形式将是：(1)扩展叙事分析，绘制设施模式和关键障碍；(2)有丰富注释的课堂实践录像。我们将把实习教师作为学徒研究，在先进技术的基础上研究有效的新教学形式。

This work aims at producing a series of case studies of the appropriation of advanced technology into the everyday classroom practices of teachers. We will follow a collection of teachers-- who range from technology-sophisticated and professionally innovative, to completely computer-naive -- as they learn about and seek to incorporate a flexible, advanced technology, the Boxer system, into their day-to-day teaching. The case studies will be interpretive and synthetic, organized around themes that emerge as important in the practice of these teachers and in the processes of change. Each study will involve a "stratified analysis" including: teachers' values and learning goals, the repeatable patterns they use in classrooms (activity structures), the skills both teachers and students need to reproduce such patterns, and the kind of learning that results. The forms of these case studies will be: (1) extended narrative analysis charting facilitory patterns and critical barriers; and (2) richly annotated video tapes of classroom practice. We will incorporate student teachers as apprentice researches in studying effective new forms of instruction based on the availability of advanced technology.
