My problem statement is " I plan to determine the impact of standardized tests for students whose districts are cutting technology funding vs. those in districts that are maintaining or increasing their funding."
Research Questions:
1. If given technology funding in some school districts and not in others, will the schools with technology funding score higher than the schools who do not have the funding?
2. Did districts that reduced technology funding see a decline in standardized test scores?
3. Did districts that reduced technology funding, see technology use drift mainly towards remedial technology use?
4. Is there a difference in test scores from the previous year with technology funding vs. this year without technology funding?
Most of my questions use the quantative methodology and use difference questions. I am trying to find out the difference in test scores with technology funding vs. no technology funding.
Katie,
ReplyDeleteBack in one of the first classes in the M.S. program, there was an article that I read that you may find interesting.

Although this article doesn't necessarily talk about standardized testing, it might give you an interesting perspective on the type of learning gap that is occurring in the area of technology and districts who are in need of funding for technology.
Thank you,
