IS TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATED INTO SCIENCE: A CASE OF K12

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the level of technology integration into Science and Technology courses at a public elementary school in a rural region of Turkey. The design of the study is a case study utilizing qualitative research methods. The data were collected through interviews and document analysis. The findings of the study showed that teachers rarely use technology in Science and Technology lessons. The analysis of the documents resulted with similar findings indicating that there was very limited technology integration in Science and Technology Course textbooks and lesson plans. Science related activities were also fewer in Information Technology teachers' book. Additionally, the findings indicated some important barriers in technology integration into Science and Technology course which were time limitation, lack of knowledge and skills about how to integrate technology into the course, physical deficiencies, and inadequate administrative support.
