The Impact of Teacher Technology Training on Student Technology Assessments

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the connections that may exist between the student technology literacy performance in the national schools and teachers who have had technology-focused professional development. Utilizing the online NAEP data, the study examined two school-reported variables related to teacher technology-specific professional development and student TEL scores on a national level. The results presented here suggest that teachers with training in technology usage may be more successful with students than those without. This study may provide insight into understanding more about the relevance of teacher training with regards to technology
