Instructional Design
A recent study determined that "educational design research integrates design and research into a socially responsible approach to inquiry related to learning and teaching" (Oh, Reeves, 2010, p. 263). The Oh and Reeves study is just one example of why I include research-based design in my practice. Oftentimes, it behooves me to discover a variety of techniques available to address certain situations, and without research, I would have no access to those various techniques. Research allows me the opportunity to discover how others view the same problems that I am confronted, but even more importantly allows me to see solutions that I might not otherwise consider.
As Henry Clay Lindgren wrote in the 1950's "the terms theories of learning has a formidable sound to it. It may connote research with mice and monkeys, complex mathematical formulae, and esoteric research papers" (Lindgren, 1958), but what it really means is what do we (as teachers) do in our classroom to ensure a learning environment.
To accomplish the learning environment in my classroom, some of the theories I have applied include...
Collaborative teaching in my classroom means that I communicate in a regular and ongoing manner with other like-minded individuals on curriculum and activities for the students. Collaborating with other instructors and teachers allows me to bounce ideas around in an effort to deduce whether others have tried similar tasks, and whether they have worked, or failed. Additionally, collaborative learning (interactions between students) can be effective as well. A recent study determined that "much has been written about the benefits of collaborative learning in terms of its impact on interpersonal skills and academic achievement (and) many education studies suggest that students learn better when they work interactively with others and that retention of material is improved through collaborative learning" (Bergom, Wright, Brown, Brooks, 2011, -. 19). This type of research can be used in the classroom in a very efficient manner. Creating lesson plans that calls for collaboration within the student population (at least in my classroom) is…

" One recent debate around the subject of instructional design is based in learning theories. Experts and laymen alike wonder if there is a specific learning theory that is more suited to using instructional design. Research indicates there is not as long as the instructional design is well planned and facilitated smoothly (Melo, 2004). MY PLAN In my own teaching career I plan to utilize instructional design on regular basis. I will begin
Service Theory design is not a basic foothold that can be explained in only a few sentences. There is a lot of thought, experimentation, research, and trial and error that goes into the creation of a sound theory. First, it is important to acknowledge all of the things that can play a role in the design of a theory itself. Researchers have reported that community and culture significantly influence value
This study concludes that there is a critical need for testing initiatives to determine accessibility compliance of web pages and furthermore, further study is critically needed to determine which testing methods for web page user accessibility for the disabled are accurate methods for such testing of web page accessibility factors.

…Chapter 1IntroductionStudent truancy is a growing problem in the United States. Over the last twenty years the truancy rates have grown nationwide with the highest rates in inner cities (Jacob & Lovett, 2017). Research indicates that student truancy leads to potential socially deviant behavior in adulthood (Dronkers, Veerman, & Pong, 2017). Many students who are absent for prolonged periods are more likely to perform poorly academically, risking failure in classes
