Program Description:
The Curriculum and Instruction program with an Emphasis in Educational Technology is designed for educators interested in gaining knowledge about technology integration to support teaching and learning. The program focuses on the appropriate, effective, and creative integration of technologies in all content areas and at all levels. Graduate students in the program develop skills and knowledge in the use of technology resources to support student learning.
Program Mission and Objectives:
The mission of the Curriculum and Instruction with an Emphasis in Educational Technology program is to develop educational leaders (teachers, administrators, and other educators) who are able to enhance curriculum and empower students using appropriate and effective instructional technologies.
We expect graduates of the program to:
• have a thorough knowledge-base of instruction and curriculum.
• understand diverse learners and effective learning theories for the classroom.
• be reflective in their practice.
• know the issues of integrating technology into instruction.
• be able to effectively integrate a broad range of technologies for student learning.
• be able to evaluate the merits of technologies for use in the classroom.
• have the knowledge and skills to effectively plan for and implement technology integration in schools.
Program Requirements:
Successful students complete 36 credit hours plus a capstone experience. Capstone experience choices are: Program Portfolio, Thesis, Formal Research Paper, Comprehensive Written Examination, and Action Research Project.
Alignment of Program with Conceptual Framework
The educational technology program is guided by our Conceptual Framework for Reflective Educators. Graduate students in the program constantly reflect on their own growth and practice. They examine and apply effective instructional practices which help to develop and shape their belief systems about using technology in instruction. The students examine how technology is changing the face of education and how those technologies can address diverse learners and learning situations. Current and emerging technologies demand that educators be reflective in the choice of methods, materials, technologies, and assessments to enhance and improve the teaching and learning process. The program provides a broad range of experiences for developing these skills, attitudes, and values as a reflective professional.
