ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, New Mexico State University
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted education systems worldwide, exacerbating longstanding educational disparities, particularly concerning technology access and utilization. This qualitative study explores amplified technology inequities in rural New Mexico education, capturing students' experiences through the lens of teachers. Using a single-site case study, the research will employ purposeful sampling techniques to select participants with relevant experiences during the pandemic. Four in-depth interviews are conducted with teachers. The data analysis reveals themes and patterns related to the challenges faced by rural New Mexico education during the pandemic. The study examines how education systems adapt to the unprecedented circumstances and implement innovative solutions to ensure learning continuity. These findings provide valuable insights to understanding technology disparities of education in rural New Mexico and informs policy recommendations to address these gaps in the future.
