Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v5 May 2011
The purpose of the study was to determine if elementary teachers use technology as a tool to enhance classroom strategies for improving student achievement among Hispanic students. The following research questions were utilized: a) Are computers available for classroom teachers and Hispanic students? b) Has the available technology contributed to the academic success of Hispanic students? and c) Are teachers trained regarding the use of technology as a teaching tool? Participants responded to a survey designed to determine if elementary teachers used technology as a tool to enhance classroom strategies for improving student achievement among Hispanic students. The findings from the study support the assertion that the availability of technology has an impact on the academic success of the Hispanic students in one South Texas elementary school. Every classroom was equipped with computers. A limited number of students had a computer in their home. Teachers' responses demonstrated the positive effect of being trained to use technology as a teaching tool and the subsequent contributions technology has had on the academic success of the students in the classroom.
