Description

Researching IT in Education: A Comprehensive Approach to Quality Research. This book aims to stimulate thought and discussion among researchers by exploring various approaches to conducting quality research in the field of IT in education. It establishes priorities and directions for future research, structured around five key areas: theory, history, research directions, methodology, and topics. The authors argue that IT has the power to enable fundamental research that refines and develops theory and practice in education. To achieve this, high-quality research often requires longer timelines and more complex data collection and analysis methods. The book highlights the value of theoretical frameworks used in mainstream educational research and draws attention to early theoretical work on IT in education. With contributions from expert researchers and leaders in the field from ten countries, this book provides an international set of perspectives on the issues examined. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in or undertaking research on IT in education, including academics, research students, teachers, and policy-makers.
