Research Presentation Abstract

The presentation will explain how the preservice special education teacher candidates used iPads as a device to collect data on teacher behaviors in the classroom as they relate to classroom management. The students observed 3 different classrooms and teachers, using the iPad apps to conduct event recording and anecdotal recording. Once the data was collected, the preservice teacher candidates compared the data between the classrooms, as well as the data between the observers. The analysis of the data helped the preservice teacher candidates gain a new understanding of how often feedback is given to students, and the kind of feedback that is given. The presentation will also include implications and impacts on preservice teacher candidates.
