This study gathered data on how teachers integrated instructional technology into the teaching of social studies to 11th grade students in a Midwestern urban high school. A questionnaire, interviews and observations were used to collect data for the study. Findings indicated that technology integration is a factor in the teaching of social studies in the school. The study showed that Internet research, video tape, overhead projectors and online learning were the favored form of technology integrated into classroom instruction. The study showed a need to provide pre-service and classroom teachers with training opportunities which emphasize technology integration. Teachers' perceptions of technology integration and prior teaching experiences were two of the noted factors which influenced a teacher's decision to integrate technology.

Across the disciplines technology offers unique opportunities to the teacher. Examples of these opportunities include the ability to research, create presentations etc. For Social Studies technology offers a new way to reach out for the world. Much of the Social Studies curriculum is based around the idea of learning about the world around us and the myriad ways that people across the globe function and live differently but effectively. With technology social studies teachers, have a chance to allow students to explore and experience the world in a new virtual way and create knowledge by themselves. This fosters the much emphasized constructivist paradigm. However, over the years, it has been observed that despite the lee way that technology offers to the teaching and learning process, the traditional social studies teaching is "yoked to the textbook, captive to chalk and talk." For most teachers their hiccough is how they can tailor technology around the social studies curriculum to make it effective and interesting. This book expounds social studies teachers' perception towards technology integration and provides a practical approach to teaching social studies with technology.

This study has its rational basis in the proliferation of technology throughout every aspect of the contemporary world. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions, attitudes and knowledge of preservice teachers as they pertain to technology in social studies education. This investigation examines whether preservice teachers want to use computer technology in social studies, their motivations and how they plan to employ computer technology in social studies instruction. In addition, the factors that influence social studies preservice teachers' use of computer technology will be explored and described. The value of this study lies in three areas: 1) Growing interest technology's use in classrooms and limited research illustrate the importance of examining integration of information technology as teaching and learning tools on the attitudes and practices of preservice teachers. 2) Adding to the body of knowledge in preservice teacher education and information technology integration is important for methods courses. 3) And, the prescriptive findings of this research provide an effective model for integrating information technology in social studies teacher education. The book is addressed to researchers in education, teachers and preservice teachers, especially in social studies.

Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, grade: K-12, University of Cape Coast (Centre for Continuing Education), course: Information Technology in Social Studies, language: English, comment: Brandford Bervell is a Senior Research Assistant at the Centre for Continuing Education, University of Cape Coast. He hold a Bachelor of Education Degree in Social Studies as well as a Masters Degree in Technology Education. He tutors master's in technology education students basically in theoretical foundations of technology in education and modalities of technology in education. His research interest lies in technology education and in particular how technology can be effectively utilized in the teaching of social studies. He aims to pursue a PhD in Technology Education in the near future, abstract: ABSTRACT Technology has become an imperative tool in teaching and learning, offering a constructive dimension to education. Its usage cuts across all disciplines and social studies is not an exception. In view of this, using a descriptive research design, this study investigated social studies teachers' perception of technology integration, their use of technology as well as the impact of technology integration training on their instructional practice in the senior high schools of the Cape Coast Metropolis. Data were collected through the use of a questionnaire from a purposive sample of 50 social studies teachers who have completed some form of technology integration training whether formal or informal. Participants ranged in age from 21 to 60, and had an average of 11 years of teaching experience. Social studies teachers in this study generally had a positive perception towards technology integration and the unparallel importance it brings to bare in the social studies classroom. However, they did not have the requisite competencies that will cushion their desire to tailor their instruction around technology, even though they have had some

The purpose of this study was to answer the following questions: 1. What are the most common types of technology social studies teachers report using in teaching and why? 2. What are the most common types of technology teachers report allowing students to use in social studies classrooms to promote learning and why? 3. How do social studies teachers report integrating new forms of personal technology devices into their curriculum both for teaching and to promote learning? 4. What factors remove the barriers of creating a social studies classroom that allows personal digital devices into the learning environment?

Technology in the Middle and Secondary Social Studies Classroom introduces pre-service teachers to the research underpinning the effective integration of technology into the social studies curriculum. Building off of established theoretical frameworks, veteran social studies teacher educator Scott Scheuerell shows how the implementation of key technologies in the classroom can help foster higher-level thinking among students. Plentiful, user-friendly examples illustrate how specific educational tools—including games, social media, flipped classrooms, and other emerging technologies—spur critical thinking and foster authentic intellectual work. A rigorous study, Technology in the Middle and Secondary Social Studies Classroom provides a comprehensive, up-to-date research framework for conceptualizing successful, technology-rich social studies classrooms.

Despite technology’s presence in virtually every public school, its documented familiarity and use by youth outside of school, and the wealth of resources it provides for teaching social studies, there has been relatively little empirical research on its effectiveness for the teaching and learning of social studies. In an effort to begin to fill this gap in research literature, this book focuses on research on technology in social studies education. The objectives of this volume are threefold: to describe research frameworks, provide examples of empirical research, and chart a course for future research endeavors. Accordingly, the volume is divided into three overarching sections: research constructs and contexts, research reports, and research reviews. The need for research is particularly acute within the field of social studies and technology. As the primary purpose of social studies is to prepare the young people of today to be the citizens of tomorrow, it is necessary to examine how technology tools impact, improve, and otherwise affect teaching and learning in social studies. Given these circumstances, we have prepared this collection of research conceptualizations, reports, and reviews to achieve three goals. 1. Put forward reports on how research is being conducted in the field 2. Present findings from well-designed research studies that provide evidence of how specific applications of technology are affecting teaching and learning in social studies. 3. Showcase reviews of research in social studies It is with this framework that we edited this volume, Research on Technology and Social Studies Education, as an effort to address emerging concerns related to theorizing about the field and reporting research in social studies and technology. The book is divided into four sections. The first section of the book includes three descriptions of research constructs and contexts in social studies and technology. The second section is focused on research reports from studies of student learning in social studies with technology. The third section contains research reports on teachers’ pedagogical considerations for using technology in social studies. In the fourth and final section, we present work that broadly reviews and critiques research in focused areas of social studies and technology. This volume contains twelve chapters, each of which focuses on social studies content and pedagogy and how the field is affected and enhanced with technology. The volume includes research and theoretical works on various topics, including digital history, digital video, geography, technology use in the K-12 social studies classroom, and artificial intelligence.
