An Investigation of Teachers’ Understanding of the Connection Between Technology and Higher Level Questioning

Abstract

Twenty-first century learners are digital natives who are expected think critically, engage in problem-solving, and maximize their potential in real-world situations. Educators face the challenge of designing curriculum and delivering instruction to develop these competencies, while meeting the demands of standards-based instruction. Effective implementation requires a deep understanding of higher-level questioning strategies as well as technology proficiency. Researchers created professional development workshops to challenge current and future educators to maximize instructional time through challenging webbased activities. Using a Likert-scale survey coupled with open-ended questions, researchers investigated teacher perceptions of technology and higher order questioning after a workshop focused on Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (1997) using web-based tools to facilitate higher levels of questioning. Quantitative and qualitative data revealed participants were more prepared to use technology to encourage higher-level thinking. Researchers will share the study methodology as well as common themes that emerged from the data.
