The director of computer technology in Emerson School District wants to gather information about the use of technology-based instruction in language arts and literature classes in the district's middle schools and high schools. For her study, the director identifies five of the top teachers in these content areas. She visits and observes each teacher's classes on three different days and subsequently interviews each teacher. Then she summarizes the ways that these teachers incorporate the use of technology into their lessons and their students' activities. The director also summarizes teachers' beliefs about the roles of technology in students' learning and motivation. (a) Classify the research as one of the following: Quantitative/descriptive Quantitative/correlational Quantitative/experimental Quantitative/quasi-experimental Qualitative Mixed methods, and then (b) Identify one or more conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from this study and, if relevant, one or more conclusions that cannot be drawn from the study.
As you read about each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results.
