A Model for Professional Development in Technology Integration
Abstract
The change in any instructional practice requires an effective professional development plan that best addresses the needs of the teachers. This chapter is an attempt to conceptualize a research-based multi-dimensional model for professional development of teachers with respect to technology integration. The purpose of this study was to use the current literature to determine the characteristics of high quality professional development that focuses on the integration of instructional technology into teaching practices. This study developed as a result of the findings and recommendations from a previous quasi-experimental study. Following a thorough review of related literature to illuminate the recommended professional development practices, a model was developed based on the TPACK framework. The proposed model includes (1) TPACK as the central framework to design the teacher technology integration curricula, (2) the use of online discussion and support platforms to ensure the sustainability component of the training, and (3) on-site professional collaboration and partnership to provide teachers with opportunities to model, share their experiences.
