Best Practices in Educational Technology Implementation in Two-Year Community College Writing Centers
John Richard Findura
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, New Jersey City University
Using a qualitative approach based on grounded theory, this study explored the best practices of educational technology implementation in 2-year community college writing centers through a series of interviews with 13 separate 2-year community college writing center administrators. This study utilized Vygotsky's (1978) sociocultural development theory as well as Bandura's (1963) social learning theory to properly frame the collected results. By thoroughly interviewing each participant and then coding their responses according to Charmaz's (2014) ideas of grounded theory using open, axial, and selective coding, three major themes were discovered which in turn led to the uncovering of five best practices for educational technology implementation in the participants' writing centers that may be broadly applied to 2-year community college writing centers in general. Also found were how these writing center administrators have seen technology as being beneficial to their students as well as what kinds of future educational technology functionalities they would like to see.
