Research

Despite earning a teaching credential through an accredited program,  many elementary school teachers who teach all subjects will often feel that they are most confident teaching only one or two content areas. Thus, many elementary teachers may be required to teach subjects in which they are not subject-matter proficient. One study stated, “Primary teachers have very much less confidence in their knowledge and skills in science, information technology and technology than they have in the traditional core subjects of English and mathematics” (Harlen, pg. 34). It is important that teachers possess subject-matter  proficiency in order to create a parallel sense of confidence with learning the subject matter by  their students. The purpose of this study was to discover ways in which a teacher, not classically trained in science, can use technology to support the content area and better engage and support student learning.
