This assignment is to be completed once you have completed Activity 2.

Conduct a survey and analysis in two schools in which you test a conditional statement about teachers' attitudes towards and/or perceptions of ICT in education. To complete this assignment we suggest that you follow these steps:

1. Record two conclusions that you reached when reading Two generations of teachers: Differences in attitudes towards ICT.
   
   
2. State the hypotheses as a causal relationship, for example:

   < something happens > because < the reason why it happens >

   e.g. teachers smoke because they find teaching stressful (except that your example should be about attitudes towards ICT, based on the reading)

   It may be advisable to check these statements with your tutor once you have formulated them.

3. Design a paper-based survey that will test the validity of these statements (whether they hold to be true or not).

• Use the link on the CD to read more about designing surveys.
• Use the link on the CD to read more about good survey questions.
• Use the link on the CD to see an example survey.

4. Administer this survey in two schools, at least one of which should have computers. You should have at least 20 responses. This means that you should hand out at least 40 survey forms.
   
   
5. Process your survey results and analyse the responses. How do the two schools compare? What are the reasons for this? How do the results support your conditional statement?
   
   
6. Write a report of 3-4 pages on your survey analysis. Create spreadsheet charts of the most illuminating survey data and include these in your report. Write conclusions that cite specific data and the data analysis. Declare whether the statement had been supported by your survey or not. Identify further work that could be done to clarify results.

This assignment is to be completed after Activity 6.

Choose one of the competencies for ICT integration and design a unit of a teacher development programme for ICT integration which caters for this competency. Implement the session and reflect on the experience.

To complete this assignment we suggest that you follow these steps:

1. Use the link on the CD to see a list of teacher ICT development competencies.
   
   
2. Consider the stage of development of your colleagues before selecting one or more competencies in that area.
   
   
3. Use the link on the CD to open the template for a teacher development plan to complete your planning (save the file and then open in Word before completing it).
   
   
4. Gather a few colleagues (at least 2) and implement the training session. Make notes as you notice significant things happening.
   
   
5. Reflect on the session and complete the reflection section of the template.

Write an evaluation report on the effectiveness of your school's use of ICT in which you analyse the current state of ICT integration, identify key principles for ICT integration and make recommendations on what the priorities for development should be.

In order to complete this assignment we recommend that you consider the following steps:

1. Current state: First provide a description of the school's ICT resources and facilities. Include a summary of the staff ICT development levels. Use the framework as the basis for analysing the current state of learning.
   
   
2. Key principles: Based on your understanding of this module, identify between 5 and 10 key principles that should influence all activity regarding the use of ICT for learning in the school, including staff development. Provide a clear explanation for each principle that you include.
   
   
3. Recommendations: Use the above-mentioned principles and your analysis of the framework as a foundation for identifying the most important activities that should take place regarding ICT Integration. State these as specific outcomes. Place each outcome in order of priority and enter them on a timeline in which you set target dates for achieving each outcome.
