Contribution
Impact 2009 is a government-funded enquiry into the nature of learning using ICT in schools in the UK. The project’s goal is to generate case studies of the ecology of learning in three types of ICT environment, each of which exhibits a specific pedagogical focus: an Internet/personal technology focus; a curriculum and content focus; a VLE/managed learning focus. The research questions driving the data collection cluster around learning: how are teachers using new technologies, and in what contexts? What pedagogical intentions and purposes are underpinning these approaches? How do teachers believe students are learning using these approaches, and what has enabled these teachers to become confident in delivering this approach? The project team has been encouraged by Becta, the English government’s technology agency, to explore new methodologies for representing their findings to teachers, and in this presentation will demonstrate some of the approaches they have been trialling in collaboration with the Learning Sciences Research Institute at the University of Nottingham. These include online 3-D maps of a school featuring departmentally-located tag clouds and other semantic network representations of teachers’ beliefs and values; other related links attempt to show diagrammatically other support and power structures within a school.
