Handbook of Research on Technology-Supported Teaching and Research Methods for Educators
A
book edited by Prof. Lazarus Ndiku Makewa (Lukenya University, Kenya),
Dr. Baraka Manjale Ngussa (University of Arusha, Tanzania) and Dr.
Joshua Michael Kuboja (University of Arusha, Tanzania)
Introduction
Research
on Technology-Supported Teaching and Research Methods for Educators
arouses curiosity into the teaching and learning process. Technology has
an instructional taste if its utilization is recognized and maintained.
Technology can be a powerful tool for transforming learning. It can
help affirm and advance relationships between educators and students,
reinvent our approaches to learning and collaboration, shrink
long-standing equity and accessibility gaps, and adapt learning
experiences to meet the needs of all learners. Our schools, colleges,
and universities should be incubators of exploration and invention.
Educators should be collaborators in learning, seeking new knowledge and
constantly acquiring new skills alongside their students. Education
leaders and researchers should set a vision for creating learning
experiences that provide the right tools and supports for all learners
to thrive. However, to realize fully the benefits of technology in
teaching and provide authentic learning experiences, educators need to
be richly enabled with integrated technology effectively in their
practice. Furthermore, education stakeholders should commit to working
together to use research-based technology to improve teaching and
learning. These stakeholders include leaders; teachers, faculty, and
other educators; researchers; policymakers; funders; technology
developers; community members and organizations; and learners and their
families.
This book aims to discuss and address variety of issues
in technology-supported Teaching and Learning and Research Methods for
Educators.
Objective of the Book
This
comprehensive and timely work aims to be an essential reference
resource, building on the available literature in the field of
instructional technology in developing countries while providing for

developers, policy makers, technology developers, educators and
researchers to adopt and implement technology platforms in developing
nations across the globe.
Target Audience
