Elizabeth C. Bell
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, New Mexico State University
This study aimed to determine if the T3 framework for technology in education impacts students' vocabulary learning, oral language, and reading comprehension, specifically for students labeled as English Language Learners (ELLs). Students were asked to learn two root words a week for four weeks. During each instructional week, students were asked to engage in discussions with the teacher and each other. After the learning period, students use Google Slides to build a stop-motion animation demonstrating their learning. Field notes were taken during student discussions during the learning period, and student work samples were collected and analyzed. Findings suggest that students were engaged with the creative aspect of the learning and enjoyed the conversation that occurred when learning new root words. Students additionally showed an increased understanding of inflectional morphemes and developed language specific to sentence structure. Using the T3 framework for technology in education allowed students to build vocabulary and oral language. This research led to recommendations on lengthening students' time to develop word knowledge and practice their newly acquired root words. In addition, the use of the T3 Framework provided for classroom technology to demonstrate student learning in a new and engaging way. Supplementary materials have been included as part of this document. Student-created stop-motion videos are the final product created by the students studied in this case study. The four videos included are: Video 1 -- Group 1: Spunch Bob goes on an adventure to retake a test. Video 2 -- Group 2: A burger is good, dethroning a queen is bad, friendship means together, and a subway is underground. Video 3 -- Group 3: Sweatshirt, Thermometer, and Sweatshirt go on an adventure. Video 4 -- Group 4: Root word mal-, and ben- are demonstrated.
