Project Title
Finding effective ways of incorporating an IWB into 'Number and Place Value' /
lessons, in a Pre-Primary classroom.
Project RationaleThe topic of Interactive Whiteboards (IWB) in a Pre-primary Classroom was chosen
as a result of discussing different ideas with my mentor teacher. I was initially drawn
to the idea of researching play in phonics lessons; however, I was reluctant to proceed
due to my mentor teacher informing me that the school in which I will be conducting
my research at, is not a 'play-based school' and that it would unfortunately be too
difficult to implement. I felt disheartened by this, as I am very passionate about play
in learning, however as my teacher is supporting me with my research project, I
decided to modify my topic.
I reflected on Brookfield's 'four critically reflective lenses' model (Diggins &
O'Connor, 2002, p. 41) and considered my personal experiences with Information and
Communication Technology (lCT) within the classroom and realised that my
exposure with IWB' s has been minimal. Therefore, my rationale for choosing this
topic is to investigate and learn what strategies IWB' s possess for enhancing learning
of all subject areas. For the purpose of this research project, I will look specifically
into its ability to increase the students' motivation and interaction with their learning/ of number and place value.
ICT plays a major role in our daily living and as we are surrounded by its benefits and
universal familiarity, it only seems just that children are also taught its 'power' at
school. I believe that "ICT can have a positive impact on pupils' levels of
concentration, self-confidence, self-esteem, independence and behaviour" (English,
2006, p.8). It is for this reason that discovering different strategies of using the IWB
is immanent for me to establish its potential. Only then will I be able to use it to the
best of my ability, through having the students interact in the lesson by giving them a
fun and positive approach to learning numbers. I aim to do this through different Vmatht:matical programs that engage the children with bright and colourful effects and
![Page 6: Assignment 1 EDN470 PROJECT RATIONALE ANDPLAN Student …katherinebamford.weebly.com/uploads/5/1/6/4/... · 1) A clear statement of why this topic is important, why you chose tlus](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050300/5f6941930c3b387a8f00befb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
allow them to physically interact with the whiteboard, to help increase their learning
and understanding. ICT is prominent in the world we live in. Therefore IWB's have
immense "potential to increase student learning, understanding, achievement and
motivation. Students using technology can also learn collaboration, critical thinking
and problem solving" (Reys, 2012, p. 46) within all areas of the curriculum./
The context where I will be conducting my Action Research Project is at Lakelands
Primary School, Mandurah, in a Pre-Primary Classroom (Department of Education,
2015). Lakelands is a new school to the area, opened for Kindergarten and Pre-
Primary in 2014, and officially opened this year, catering for 430 students from
Kindergarten to Year 6. The Pre-Primary classroom I will be conducting my research
in consists of twenty-seven children, one teacher and one full time Education
Assistant (EA). The inclusivity is apparent through the range of different cultures that'nd\~"()\IS. l\."Va.\-a-lt ?
are enrolled at the school, for example, Aboriginal, Spanish, Philippine, British and
Chinese, just to name a few. Within the classroom, there are no children with English
as a Second Language (ESL), however, 3 children do have different cultural heritages,
they being Aboriginal, Spanish and Philippine. Although these children were born in
Australia, I still feel as though it is important to incorporate some of their heritage into
our lessons. There are no students with Special Needs in this class, however, there are
numerous children enrolled within the school with different disabilities ranging from
full hearing loss, to visual impairments.
Within each of my three ten hour cycles, I plan to conduct my research utilising the
Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) Planning Cycle of Reflect, Question, Plan
and Act (Early Years Leaming Framework, 2010, p. 12). I chose to use this cycle
because it allows me to observe and reflect on the context of the classroom, the
students' abilities and how the classroom is set up in order for me to complete my
project. The question component allows me to discover the programs the teacher has ~
previously and is currently using with the IWB, how the students are responding to
them and also by allowing me to communicate with the children to discover some of
their interests. This in turn will allow me to plan lessons that will engage the students
in what I am teaching. Ultimately, I am then able to act feeling confident that I have ;rpcovered all areas of my planning, allowing me to give a confident and successful -:J qrlesson, at the same time gaining experience with using the IWB. ..{t o~ \:

After discussion and much research into what area I will conduct my action research
project on, I chose to use the Number and Place Value strand of the Australian
National Curriculum. I feel this context will help develop my skills in the use of
/ IWB's as Dr Karen Murcia and Dr Susan McKenzie from Murdoch University
discovered. They performed a 'Whiteboard technology' project and found that
"children had positive responses to the use of the IWB's in their classrooms and£1'/
teachers reported advances in children's literacy and/or numeracy over the course of
the project" (Murcia, K, p. 25). With positive research being achieved, I feel that if I
can enhance the learning of mathematics with my students through the use of IWB ' s,
then my ability to learn and develop appropriate skills in using this particular
Information Communication Technology (lCT) tool is encouraging. As my passion
for children's learning is through play, I am determined to use any method of teaching
in a school that is not a 'play based' school, by increasing their motivation and
engagement through collaborative lessons, whether it is in group or whole class work.
Numeracy is paramount in our everyday life, I believe that by making learning to
count fun from an early age, paves a positive path for our future generation, in turn
alleviating the negative stigma many older students hold about mathematics today.
By learning how to use IWB successfully, I aim to teach mathematics effectively
using IWB technology in my future classrooms. G-c:. c=.d Dt s c. . )

Through exploring this topic, I aim to enhance my professionalism whilst further ~S'developing my ICT skills in the classroom. The purpose of my Action Research
Project is to enable me to gain appropriate knowledge and understanding of different
strategies used with IWB's, enabling me to enhance and engage students' number and
t/ place value knowledge. With my research project, I am also aiming to develop the
important and necessary tools that will help me reflect on my pedagogy skills.

Focus Questions
My focus questions are:
1. What strategies can I use with IWB' s when teaching Number and Place Value,
during whole class lessons?
2. What strategies can I use with IWB's when teaching Number and Place Value,
during a rotational lesson?
3. In what ways can I reflect on my teaching to improve my use of IWB's in the
classroom?~oa... ~
Strategies/Methods (;r' ~&To engage in a thorough research of my topic, I will begin by conducting a qualitative
research by interviewing my mentor teacher about the strategies she uses with
teaching number and place value lessons using an IWB. I will also investigate the
different programs she has used, what is available for use, along with the children's
level of interaction and interest in regards to the IWB lessons. In conjunction with
these, I will participate in observations of the children during their mathematics ./
lessons, observing both the teachers pedagogy as well as the level of interests and
interaction the children possess.
To perform this research, I will be using the EYLF Planning Cycle, which allows me
to Reflect, Question, Plan and Act; this will be integrated throughout my three cycles.
By using this model, I am able to reflect on all areas of my research, enabling me to
enhance my professionalism in the classroom. This reflective practice cycle is used
'to promote belonging, being and becoming and learning, both for children and
educators and learning in the five Learning Outcomes for children' (Early Years
Learning Framework, 2010, p. 12).
I am focusing my research project on a student-directed learning methodology. I
believe that by incorporating 'Vygotskian principles of scaffolding, social interaction
and the use of language to direct thinking through collaborative learning, in that peers
assist each other but learning takes place under the guidance of the teacher'
(Duchesne, 2013, p. 90), is paramount for the learning of mathematics.
![Page 9: Assignment 1 EDN470 PROJECT RATIONALE ANDPLAN Student …katherinebamford.weebly.com/uploads/5/1/6/4/... · 1) A clear statement of why this topic is important, why you chose tlus](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050300/5f6941930c3b387a8f00befb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
As I am encouraging student interaction, engagement with learning and a fun
environment, I believe that basing my teaching methods towards a student-directed
approach, will facilitate my teaching as well as the students learning.
With Information Technology playing a major role in today's society, it is paramount
that I learn and develop appropriate skills for IWB' s for enhancing and encouraging
mathematical thinking of my students. I intend to gain this knowledge through the
use of different strategies and exercise it through collaborative learning with the
students in the classroom. In conjunction with this, it has been suggested that "there
needs to be connections between the tasks/activities undertaken using the leT device
and mathematical activities independent of the device" (Drews, 2007, p. 23).
With this in mind, I understand this suggestion to be recommending that to help
students make the cognitive link between the IWB and physical/practical components
with their number learning, I need to incorporate other activities for them to develop
these new connections. My main strategy for using an IWB during a whole class
lesson, will be creating practical activities for the students to complete so as too
consolidate what they learnt from the IWB.
When the students are in small groups during 'rotational lessons' , I will endeavour to
use the Cooperative Learning strategy to enhance the children's ability to learn
number and place value utilising an IWB. The Cooperative Learning strategy is
characterised by five learning principals in the 'Learning Together Model', that being:
"Positive interdependence; Individual and group accountability; Promotive
interaction; Teaching students the required interpersonal and small group skills and;
Group processing" (Henessey, A, p. 54). During my small group lessons (rotational
lessons), I will concentrate on teaching the students about their required interpersonal
and small group skills, emphasising on their "communication, positive reinforcement,
constructive feedback and problem solving skills" which is essential to their
cooperative learning skills. I believe this strategy will help the students learn how to
work better in a group environment, as they are able to communicate and help one
another during their maths lesson. With the children being taught this significant life
skill, they will be able to convey it in other areas of their schooling in into adUlthOO~\'

Although I am using the EYLF Planning Cycle to guide my research in this project, I
have decided to use Peters DATA model (Describe, Analyse, Theorise and Act)
(Diggins. A, 2007, p. 39) to help me reflect on my teaching style to improve my use
of IWB's. Throughout my university degree and my life so far, I have been
implementing reflective practices in almost every aspect of my life. However, I have
yet to link it to any particular theorists' model, hence my reasoning for trialling two
different types, so as to discover which best suits my way of teaching and reflecting.
Along with using the DATA model, I will keep a personal journal to help me reflect
on each lesson, including what was significant, what went well and not so well. This
J journal will also be where I record conversations with my mentor teacher about
different approaches I can apply in other lessons.
Proposed Reading List
See Appendix 1
Proposed Items of Evidence
To guide me through my Action Research Project and help develop the necessary
skills to become a confident and professional user of IWB' s, I will use a number of
items to help me consolidate my learning before, during and after the completion of
my project. Along with learning how to use an IWB, I will be focusing on applying
its holistic objective through teaching number and place value to Pre-Primary
students, both in this context and throughout all year levels in the future. The
following is a list of items that I will endeavour to use in the classroom:
• Observations
• Visual recordings
• Sample's of children's work
• Photo's
• Checklists
• Comments from my mentor teacher (critique's)
• Student and teacher conversations
• Personal journal of reflections
