For the next several weeks, I plan to research a problem that related to my concentration of integrating technology in the classroom and student’s achievement on standardized test. I teach Physical Science to middle school students. Therefore, my research interest must include a problem that relates to my Master's in Education with the concentration in Integrating Technology into the Classroom. Therefore, I plan investigation using concept mapping software technological tools makes a significant improvement in scores on standardized tests.
Therefore,here’s my problem:
I plan to appraise whether or not student’s use of concept mapping technological tools verses non use of technological tools by students significantly increase standardized test scores for 8th grade students?
Who: 8th grade student
What: Technological concept mapping tools
Why: To appraise the increase of standardized test scores
I am open for any suggestions that you may have. Please feel free to provide advice on how I may further develop my research problem.

It would appear that you are headed in the right direction. I am sure you are in the process of determining which mapping tools you are going to use and also just what the test scores are going to measure. You may want to determine what you are going to have the students write to keep it consistent. Good luck in the process Valery.
ReplyDeleteVirgil, thank you for your suggestion.I have only two in mind presently, Webspirations and Inspirations. Hopefully there will be other research or data out there somewhere. I intend to use ITBS Score or some other national standardized test.
