Measuring Technology Integration Practices of Higher Education Faculty with an Innovation Component Configuration Map (ICCM)

This paper focuses on the design, development, and standardization of an instrument, Innovation Component Configuration Map (ICCM) (Hall & Hord, 2001), designed to measure technology integration practices of higher education faculty in Schools, Colleges and Departments of Education (SCDEs). The ICCM is grounded in current best practices and technology standards set forth by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). This ICCM was developed using the five standardized steps proposed by Hall and Hord (2001), and Heck, Steigelbauer, Hall, and Loucks (1981). The main purpose of this study was to develop an instrument that provided word picture descriptions of the technology integration practices of faculty in SCDEs. This ICCM was further used to identify and map fidelity levels (high, moderate and low) of technology integration practices of faculty in SCDEs, and then to match the fidelity levels with recommendations for support and interventions.

A Cognitive Map of Human Performance Technology: A Study of Domain Expertise

Using the Pathfinder Scaling Algorithm (Pathfinder) (Interlink, 1994), the researchers conducted a cognitive task analysis expertise in Human Performance Technology (HPT). The study investigated: 1) the extent to which Pathfinder-derived coherence scores were associated with other measures of HPT expertise; 2) how HPT experts organize their knowledge of the discipline; and 3) how experts organize their HPT knowledge differently than novices. Findings include: 1) a significant correlation between coherence and the number of HPT-related books participants had written; 2) a Pathfinder-derived concept map of HPT; and 3) expected novice/expert differences in Pathfinder similarity and relatedness scores.
