Within teacher education, the role and influence of technology on teacher
and student outcomes has been one of the areas that has begun to be
extensively researched in the past decade.  This book highlights some of
the recent work of researchers in the field of technology and teacher
education.  More specifically, the book examines typical research
approaches and methods that have been used in the field as well as
paradigms or conceptualizations of research in technology and teacher
education.

This book is divided into two parts.  Part I, Overviews of Research
Programs and Perspectives, addresses several specific frameworks and
approaches for research on technology and teacher education.  The chapters
in this part draw together some of the potential directions for research
in technology and teacher education.  Part II, Methods of Research in
Technology and Teacher Education, focuses on specific research methods and
on how they have been used in technology and teacher education.  These
chapters represent most of the methods that are generally used in this
area.
