TRAAC-NSDL: Teachers' Readiness to Adopt and Adapt Content from NSDL

在这项NSDL目标研究项目中，Pi和他的同事们正在调查影响中学教师在课堂上采用数字资源和随后的个性化的因素。特别是，调查人员正在研究教师行为的变化，以及授权教师在课堂上尝试、采用和适应NSDL数字资源的策略。研究成果对以下方面产生了更广泛的影响：1)NSDL路径项目，因为他们寻求增加其资源的深度和广度，并增加利用其资源的教师数量；2)正在发展现有K-12教师以有意义的方式使用数字内容的能力的教育工作者；以及3)服务前方案的教员，他们正在培养下一代教师，以有效地利用课堂上的数字内容来改进学生的学习。

In this NSDL Targeted Research project the PI and colleagues are investigating the factors that influence middle school teachers' adoption and subsequent personalization of digital resources in their classrooms. In particular the investigators are examining changes in teacher behavior and the strategies for empowering teachers to try, adopt, and adapt NSDL digital resources in their classrooms. The research outcomes are exercising broader impact by informing: 1) NSDL Pathways projects as they seek ways to increase the depth and breadth of their resources and increase the number of teachers who utilize their resources; 2) Educators who are developing the capacity of current K-12 teachers to use digital content in a meaningful way; and 3) Faculty in pre-service programs who are preparing the next generation of teachers to effectively leverage the use of digital content in the classroom to improve student learning.
