Technology Integration in Action: The
Role of Learning Theory
• Strategy A: Preparing Students for State Tests

– Mr. Ng uses a computer-based system to help
students prepare for the state’s Test of Essential
Skills for Success (TESS-M)
• Strategy B: A Simulated Family Project
– Ms. Rodriguez situated students in a family simulation
in which they had to tackle everyday math activities

Technology Integration Pedagogy (1 of 3)
• Learning Theory Foundations

– Directed instruction – Transmit information to
students through teacher-organized activities (based
on objectivism, grounded in behaviorist, information
processing theories)
– Constructivist-based instruction – Learners generate
own knowledge through experiences (based on
constructivism, evolved from branches of cognitive
learning theory)
• Turn-around Technology Integration Pedagogy and

Planning (TTIPP) Model
– Phase 1: Analyze problems of practice, assess
teaching/learning needs/assets, and identify possible
technology solutions
– Phase 2: Design the lesson’s objectives, assessments,
and instructional and learning strategies; identify the
relative advantage; and implement the lesson
– Phase 3: Analyze and revise the technology-supported
instruction and share outcomes with peer teachers
• Turn-around pedagogy
– Teachers turn toward students by seeking info about
them; students turn from disengagement to re-
engagement in learning
• Lesson evaluation (RATification)
– Use the Replacement, Amplification, and
Transformation (RAT) assessment framework
Learning Theory Foundations: Directed
Integration Models
Behaviorist Theories
• Based in work of B.F. Skinner

• Learning shown by change in behaviors
• Behaviors shaped by contingencies of reinforcement
– Positive reinforcement
– Negative reinforcement
– Punishment
• Implications for Technology Integration
– Drill-and-practice software based on reinforcement
principles
– Tutorial software based on programmed instruction
Information-Processing Theories
• Based in work of Atkinson and Shiffrin
• Learning is encoding information in memory
• Memory stores
– Sensory registers
– Short-term memory (STM)
– Long-term memory (LTM)
– Contributes to structured cueing, attention-getting, visualization,
practice, and scaffolding features in applications
– Contributes to artificial intelligence (AI) applications
– Drill-and-practice applications work toward LTM encoding
Cognitive-Behaviorist Theory
• Based in work of Robert Gagné
• Learning shaped by optimal conditions of learning
• Nine Events of Instruction guide instruction
– May differ in practice, based on learning outcomes
– Learning hierarchies involve prerequisite skills
– Only tutorials can accomplish all necessary events of
instruction
– Other resources (drill-and-practice, simulations) require
teacher-led activities before or after use to meet all events
of instruction
Systems Approaches: Instructional Design
Models
• Often based in work of Robert Gagné and Leslie Briggs

• Learning is fostered by systems of instruction
• Instructional systems:
– Stating goals/objectives aligned with assessment and
instruction
– Creating materials to deliver instruction
– Field-testing and revising
– Computer-based instruction planned carefully within an
instructional sequence to support learning objectives
Objectivist Theory Foundations for
Directed Technology Integration
• Choose directed technology integration strategies:

– For mastery learning with clearly-defined skills and
content
– With unambiguous content
– When specific performance is expected
– When individual tutoring/practice is needed
– When learning must be efficient
Learning Theory Foundations:
Constructivist Integration Models
Social Activism Theory
• Based in work of John Dewey
• Created a philosophy of education that believed
– Curriculum arises from student interests
– Curricula topics should be integrated
– Education is growth
– Education occurs through social experience
– Learning should be hands-on and experience based
– Use technology in curriculum that provides intellectual challenge
– Use technology to support cooperative and collaborative learning
Social Cognitive Theory
• Based in work of Albert Bandura

• Learning results from behaviors, environment, and
personal factors
• Students learn by own actions or models
• Self-efficacy needed
– Video examples can provide models
– Self-modeling videos can increase self-efficacy
Scaffolding Theory
• Based in work of Lev Vygotsky

• Learning is cognitive development shaped by experience,
culture
• Teachers help children bridge Zone of Proximal
Development (ZPD) through scaffolding
– Software should provide scaffolding (e.g., examples)
that build from the learner’s current level of
understanding
Child Development Theory
• Based in work of Jean Piaget

• Learning requires cognitive growth, maturation,
interaction with the environment
• Children go through four stages of cognitive development
– Technological resources (e.g., examples, virtual
manipulatives, simulations) can assist with teaching
abstract concepts
– Logo programming helped learners develop concrete
operations
Discovery Learning
• Based in work of Jerome Bruner

• Learning is cognitive growth through interaction with the
environment
• Children remember better with discovery learning
– Allow learners to discover concepts through exploring
technology or technology-supported examples or
simulations
– Provide guided discovery learning with video-based
problem scenarios and follow-up teacher support
Multiple Intelligences Theory
• Based in work of Howard Gardner

• Learning shaped by nine types of innate intelligences
– Use technology to support group work with distributed
tasks across members
Social Constructivist Theory Foundations
for Constructivist Technology Integration
• Choose constructivist technology integration strategies:

– For inquiry-based learning
– When concepts are abstract or complex
– When hands-on visual activities social collaboration,
modeling, building self-efficacy are needed
– When time permits exploration, discovery
Technology Integration Strategies Based
on Directed and Constructivist Theories
Technology Integration Strategies Based on
Directed Models
• Integration to remedy identified weaknesses and skill

deficits
• Integration to promote skill fluency or automaticity
• Integration to support efficient, self-paced instruction
• Integration to support learning and review of concepts
Constructivist Models
• Integration to foster creative problem solving and

metacognition
• Integration to help build mental models and increase
knowledge transfer
• Integration to foster group cooperation
• Integration to allow for multiple and distributed
intelligences
Both Models
• Integration to generate motivation to learn

• Integration to optimize scarce personnel and material
resources
• Integration to remove logistical hurdles to learning
• Integration to develop digital citizenship
Turn-Around Technology Integration
Pedagogy and Planning (TTIPP) Model
Phases of the TTIPP Model (1 of 2)
• Phase 1: Analysis of Learning and Teaching Assets

and Needs
– Step 1: Analyze problems of practice (POPs)
– Step 2: Assess technological resources of students,
families, teachers, and the school
– Step 3: Identify technological possibilities
• Phase 2: Design of the Integration Framework
– Step 4: Decide on learning objectives and
assessments
– Step 5: Design integration strategies and determine
relative advantage
Phases of the TTIPP Model (2 of 2)
– Step 6: Prepare instructional environment and

implement the lesson
• Phase 3: Post-Instruction Analysis and Revisions
– Step 7: Analyze lesson results and impact
– Step 8: Make revisions based on results
– Step 9: Share lessons, revisions, and outcomes with
other peer teachers
Phase 1: Analysis of Learning and
Teaching Assets (1 of 2)
• Step 1: Analyze problems of practice (POPs)

– Determine a meaningful problem of practice
• Step 2: Assess technological resources of students,
families, teachers, and the school
– Determine the technological experiences of their
students, their families, and the communities the in
which the school is located
– Determine the teacher’s depth of knowledge of
technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK)
– Determine the technological resources available in
their school and classroom
Phase 1: Analysis of Learning and
Teaching Assets (2 of 2)
• Step 3: Identify technological possibilities

– Determine a technological possibility for solving the
POP by consulting your technology resource
assessment (in Step 2) and your knowledge of
directed and constructivist theories
Phase 2: Design of the Integration
Framework
• Step 4: Decide on learning objectives and assessments
– Write learning objectives
– Focus on observable learning outcomes and results of learning
– Determine assessment method to gauge change in outcomes
• Step 5: Design integration strategies and determine relative advantage
– Determine classroom implementation approaches for content,
student grouping, individual instruction, and use of technology
– RATify the relative advantage of the technology-supported lesson
• Step 6: Prepare instructional environment and implement the lesson
– Identify, obtain, or create resources needed for the instruction and
learning
– Ensure technology resources will work well
Phase 3: Post-Instruction Analysis and
Revisions
• Step 7: Analyze lesson results and impact
– Determine if learning objectives were achieved
– Did the technology-based method solve the POP?
– Identify areas of the lesson that could be improved
• Step 8: Make revisions based on results
– Make adjustments from small changes to beginning again at
Step 1 of the planning model
• Step 9: Share lessons, revisions, and outcomes with other peer
teachers
– Share your new ideas and practices with other teachers near
and far
