Research Questions
This study addresses questions descriptively and correlationally.
Descriptive questions include the following:
1. What is the current status of philosophies underlying the technology plans related to 1:1
programs in four Texas high schools?
2. What is the current status of the NETS essential conditions in four Texas high schools?
3. What is the current status of the level of technology usage in four Texas high schools?
4. What is the current status of the level of teaching innovation in four Texas high schools?
Correlational questions include the following:
5. What is the relationship between the NETS Essential Conditions ratings and STaR survey
ratings?
6. What is the relationship between the NETS Essential Conditions ratings and LoTI levels?
Significance of Study
This research is important to understand whether technology programs are sound at their
inception, and whether an appropriate foundation exists at the conceptual and visionary level. It
will contribute to the research on the importance of policy and content of policy in effective 1:1
programs. If a relationship indicates the possibility of correlation, such a finding may warrant
further experimental research to explore a predictive relationship between 1:1 policy and
implementation practices.
Little research has been published in the area of 1:1 program policy. In a search of
ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Database, only three dissertations deal with technology policy
development for public or secondary schools. Hunt's (1995) and Wojtylewski's (2006) studies
reported on the formulation of educational technology policy in three large Illinois districts and9
