Abstract

This case examines how elementary education majors at a private Christian university prepare to implement educational technology into the capstone classroom management plan assignment using SAMR and TPACK frameworks. Also, the emphasis placed on character education and education majors' preference to be placed in traditional Christian-focused schools as part of field experience/practicum hours in preparation is unique to the Christian university setting. The classical/traditional school model's emphasis on literature and teacher-directed instruction prompted this study to equip preservice teachers with research-based frameworks to make informed decisions about instructional technology use. Based on the exploratory findings, adjustments in the instructional approach using such educational technology frameworks, particularly in classroom management courses, will be implemented during the next semester.
