Instructional, Technological and Psychological Approaches of Using IWBs: A Framework

Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of the study is to define basic dimensions with a framework for using Interactive Whiteboards (IWB). There are some approaches, including instructional-pedagogical, psychological and technological approaches in addition to contextual factors. A thousand thirteen students (1013) from elementary and secondary schools and sixtyfive (65) teachers from different schools were selected to take questionnaire for defining their preferences, attitudes and learning variables for using IWBs. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to investigate whether or not there are differences between students’ and teachers’ views. Some emerging preferences were indicated to explain the effects of IWBs related to instructional, technological and psychological foundations as well as contextual variables. All results and conclusions were also presented and discussed to develop a framework at the end of study
