| Summary: | This mixed methods research study examined the relationship between faculty mindset and their perceived use of instructional technology in the higher education classroom. Recognizing the growing importance of technology-mediated learning interventions, the researcher sought to gain a deeper understanding of how mindset influenced the use of technology particularly amongst college of education faculty in Florida public 4-year universities. Data analyses revealed the following findings: (a) Although participants shared a range of integration patterns, faculty predominantly integrated technology for knowledge transmission, backstage activity, and communication purposes; (b) Participants predominantly occupied the integration phase of technology implementation, suggesting that they used technology committedly, but in ways that were familiar and common; (c) The way participants perceived and approached technological realities influenced their patterns of technology integration; and (d) Faculty shared similar concerns about the challenges and benefits associated with technology integration in their classrooms. The key implications that emerged from this study were that student-centered technology implementation practices were underrepresented, and that faculty seemed ill-equipped or underprepared to implement strategies surrounding accessibility. | |
