This program seeks to prepare highly qualified teachers who are capable of utilizing technology as a partner in the learning process. The overarching goal is to develop practitioners who are able to assess educational situations and plan for the effective use of technology that supports learning. The program is designed from a problem-based learning perspective. Problem-based learning is an instructional method or educational approach that is characterized by the use of real-world problems as a stimulus for learners to utilize critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It places an emphasis on active engagement that involves learners in the metacognitive process of thinking about their learning and leading them to a deeper level of understanding.
