Abstract

There has been a growing demand for technology integration evaluation to track subsequent impacts of projects on participants’ instructional practice and student outcomes. As a response, this study aims to design a systemic evaluation framework and validate associated instruments. We conducted a review of literature. Based upon the findings of the review, we proposed a systemic evaluation framework and associated methods applicable to tracking the impacts of large-scale technology integration interventions. This study validated the teacher survey in this framework, demonstrating an underlying structure that accounts for the key dimensions of teacher and classroom change. The results of study can inform researchers and practitioners in evaluating the impact of a technology integration project across short-term and long-term changes.
