Abstract

In the United States, primary and secondary (i.e., K-12) schools are rapidly changing their technology infrastructures to comply with sweeping federal mandates for enhanced data utilization and digital learning. These changes provide information science researchers with a unique opportunity to apply informatics constructs to the study of K-12 organizations. In honor of the 2014 iConference theme, this poster breaks down disciplinary walls in a map of K-12 education informatics elements in which the researcher 1) took inventory of the researchâ derived knowledge of technology use in the K-12 environment; 2) reviewed major empirical approaches to technology infusion in K-12; and 3) proposed a model for K-12 education informatics that may be useful for future research and professional learning. This depiction of information, information systems, and information technology research (i.e., core elements of informatics) is intended to foster empirical model development, inspire future research, and provide considerations for professional learning.
