EAGER: Migration of Research and Evidence-based Instructional Technology into K-12 Schools

这项探索性研究旨在促进对如何以可持续的方式在学校中实施以研究为基础的、高度创新的支持学生学习的技术工具的理解。这是一个重要的，基本上是未知的研究领域。公共和私人机构以及企业在设计和测试教育技术系统和应用方面都投入了大量资金。虽然这些创新工具令人兴奋，具有潜在的变革意义，但它们中的许多都没有成功实施，部分原因是缺乏关于学校需要什么的知识或理论。不同的设计（如整个单元、替换单元、辅导系统等）可能需要不同程度的支持。很少有关于如何实施和维持技术增强的教育系统和产品，从而提高学生的学习能力的研究。通过一系列案例研究，该项目将研究在学校实施和维持三种截然不同类型的数字资源所需的条件。案例研究将侧重于技术困难、系统集成和教学支持。研究结果可能对如何开发和实施教育技术产生广泛的影响。

This exploratory research seeks to advance understanding of how research-based, highly innovative technology tools that support student learning can be implemented in schools in a sustainable way. This is an important and basically unchartered area of research. Both public and private agencies and business have invested significant sums in designing and testing technology systems and applications for education. While exciting and potentially transformative, many of these innovative tools have not been successfully implemented, in part because of a lack of knowledge or theory about what is needed in the schools. Different designs (e.g. whole unit, replacement units, tutoring systems, etc.) may require different levels of support. There is very little research on what it takes to implement and sustain technology enhanced educational systems and products that lead to increased student learning.Through a series of case studies, this project will study what is needed to implement three very different types of digital resources that can be implemented and sustained in schools. The case studies will focus on technology difficulties, systems integration and pedagogical support. The findings could have broad impact on the how educational technology is developed and implemented.
