INTRODUCTION
Research Questions (if research questions are not specifically mentioned, what is
the theoretical background or overarching theme):
1. What is the impact of the training process on school administrators’ use of iPads for
administrative tasks and personal organization in their professional duties?
2. What is the impact of the training process on school administrators’ beliefs regarding
how teachers should use iPads in the classroom?
3. Are there any differences in school administrators’ survey responses based on gender,
age, years of experience in school administration and education, highest degree attained,
school classification, or school size?
METHODOLOGY
What is the methodology for the research or approach used to understand the
issue? Provide information regarding the following:
Participants: Elementary and secondary school administrators (i.e., principals and
assistant principals) working in one of the largest public charter school systems in a
southwestern state were the target population for the study.
51 student subjects.
The research mentioned it as, “While 58.8% (n = 30) of the pre-survey participants were
male, 41.2% (n = 21) of the participants were female. Additionally, 37 of pre-survey
respondents completed the post-survey, yielding a response rate of 72.55%. Twenty-one
(56.76%) respondents in post-survey were male, and 16 (43.24%) were female.”
Procedures: Surveys were conducted. Pre- survey; a training on how to use the iPads for
admin tasks and a post- survey; questions intended to measure self-reported improvements
in certain tasks after completing the training. The pre-survey was administered at the
beginning of the spring 2013 semester and the postsurvey was given at the end of the four-
month study period. The survey instruments were, multiple choice and Likert-type scale
items, paired sample t-test data analysis, ANOVA.
