Research Proposal / Teaching with Technology
Abstract
Extensive literature exists on why clickers are effective teaching tools, yet many instructors do not use them. The goal of this research study, which was supported by a 2015 POD Early Researcher Award, is to determine if receiving training on how to effectively use this technology will have an influence on instructors’ attitudes towards using it in their classrooms. We presented clicker training workshops, surveyed participants pre- and post-training, and analyzed the data. During this session we will share our findings, and lead discussion on what impact they may have on future training and use of this teaching technology.
