ndltd-OhioLink-oai-etd.ohiolink.edu-osu12427523812021-08-03T05:55:49Z Effects of integrated technology, mathematics, and science education on secondary school technology education students Merrill, Christopher P. <p>Little research has been conducted at the high school level, which assesses the effect that an integrative approach to teaching and learning technology, mathematics, and science education together has on student learning. There are various theories regarding the educational worth of integrated approaches to teaching and learning. Theorists also offer suggestions for how to overcome implementation barriers at the secondary level that currently impede integration. Further, there seems to be consensus that assessment tools have not been developed to measure student learning when teachers are utilizing integrated approaches in their classrooms.</p><p>A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was utilized for this research study. The researcher used six intact technology education classes in a small suburban village high school for this research study. Three classes were assigned to the treatment groups and the remaining three classes became comparison groups. The research protocol utilized six different instructional lessons on energy and power technology. The treatment groups were taught using an integrated curriculum focusing on technology, mathematics, and science education through a constructivist philosophical approach to teaching and learning. As part of the research protocol, the treatment groups utilized hands-on activities to reinforce the content they received. The comparison groups received equivalent curricular content, but were not taught in an integrated fashion; constructivism was not a philosophical approach guiding this method of teaching; nor were students applying the content they received with hands-on activities. Three hypotheses were tested in this research study. The researcher found no significant differences at the .05 alpha level between the treatment and comparison groups on (1) improved posttest scores after the treatment took place; (2) retention scores two and four weeks after the treatment; or (3) the number of open-ended terms/phrases that were completely integrated.</p><p>It was concluded that the treatment did not have a statistically significant effect on student learning immediately following implementation; the treatment did not have a statistically significant effect on the integration orientation of students; and the treatment did not have a statistically significant effect on the retention of student learning two and four weeks following implementation.</p> 2000 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1242752381 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1242752381 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
