Purpose

While educational infrastructure is consistently identified as a key lever for educational change, it is often overlooked in research and practice and specifically in relation to technology in schools. By using educational infrastructure as a lens to examine a group of districts' implementation of 1:1 programs, this work provides opportunities for understanding and approaching technology programs in new, and potentially more effective, ways.

Design/methodology/approach

Using the concept of educational infrastructure (Mehta and Fine, 2015; Peurach and Neumerski, 2015), this multiple-case study explores the ways superintendents and district technology leaders understand and enact 1:1 technology initiatives to support educational change.

Findings

The authors find these leaders see 1:1 technology as both embedded in, and engaged in changing, the physical, cultural, instructional and leadership infrastructures. This suggests that 1:1 technology can act as an infrastructure itself and has the potential to support changes to teaching and learning across the system.

Originality/value

This study offers a new perspective to understand and enact the opportunities of 1:1 technology. Specifically, it helps to reframe technology programs away from discrete classroom or school-based interventions to consider and attend to the system-level resources they require and thus increase benefits they can produce. While always useful, such considerations are particularly important in the current context and the proliferation of online learning for so many.

技术作为变革的基础设施：地区领导对 1:1 教育技术举措和教育变革的理解

目的

虽然教育基础设施一直被认为是教育变革的关键杠杆，但它在研究和实践中经常被忽视，特别是在学校技术方面。通过使用教育基础设施作为一个镜头来检查一组地区对 1:1 计划的实施，这项工作提供了以新的、可能更有效的方式理解和接近技术计划的机会。

设计/方法/方法

使用教育基础设施的概念（Mehta 和 Fine，2015 年；Peurach 和 Neumerski，2015 年），这项多案例研究探讨了管理者和地区技术领导者理解和制定 1:1 技术计划以支持教育变革的方式。

发现

作者发现这些领导者将 1:1 技术视为嵌入并参与变革的物质、文化、教学和领导基础设施。这表明 1:​​1 技术本身可以充当基础设施，并有可能支持整个系统的教学和学习变革。

原创性/价值

这项研究提供了一个新的视角来理解和实现 1:1 技术的机会。具体来说，它有助于从离散的课堂或以学校为基础的干预措施重新构建技术计划，以考虑和关注它们所需的系统级资源，从而增加它们可以产生的收益。虽然总是有用的，但在当前背景下以及在线学习激增的情况下，此类考虑尤其重要。
