Teacher Inquiry Question 2022 Blog Post 2

Teacher Inquiry 2022

Aims and Approach:

The motivations for adopting and utilising the digital affordances of information technologies are clear cut. Primarily, I want to employ a range of deliberate acts of teaching using digital tools that directly improves student engagement. This is about meeting the needs of all my ākonga. 

Teacher Modelling - the 'monkey see, monkey do' approach, but using the Teacher iPad!

Ako Ano - recording DATs that capture real-time learning in order to embed visible rewindable learning for scaffolding.

Hyperlinking learning tasks and resources - bypassing the teacher photocopier in the office, creating resource and workflow efficiencies 

Question 2022: How can the affordances of digital technology be used and/or combined with oral language to gain an accelerated shift in reading?

Type of Research Design:

Qualitative - 

Population and Sample:

My Class of 26 students is the population. My sample is 5 students who are tracking 'Well Below' for their year level in reading.

Descriptive Statistics - Summary of the data.

The students I will aim to measure this accelerated shift in learning will be the Weka group. The group is made up of five students, who are reading 'Well Below' for their cohort. Student 1 is a seven year. old Tongan Pasifika boy who has autism and ADHD. Student 2 is a seven year old Māori girl. Student 3 is another seven year old Māori girl, Student 4 is a Fijian Pasifika Girl and Student 5 is a seven year old Fijian Pasifika Boy. These students will form my Target Group for the purposes of this Inquiry.
