Abstract

This design-based action research study utilized a model of design, implementation, and evaluation across four school semesters to improve the professional development provided to teachers in a new one-to-one computing environment. Data sources collected across all semesters helped guide changes to the design and implementation phases of the professional development. This study had one guiding research question: What are the appropriate professional development sessions and process for designing professional development in order to meet the needs of teachers as they to transform traditional classrooms into student-centered 21 st century classrooms?
