Abstract
The purpose of the research was to determine examine and describe teacher use of
integrated and non-integrated methods employing CompassLearning software on
the classroom environment, system management, and the perceptions of the
teachers and students in an elementary school. CompassLearning use was
examined over a four week period. Fifty-two participants completed all activities.
This observation study included observation, surveys, and teacher interviews.
The data were collected by observing and surveying the current instructional
practices of the school and the perceptions of teachers and students. Findings
suggest that the integration of CompassLearning affects the classroom
environment and system management in a positive manner. Each group of
participants had very different perceptions of CompassLearning; more positive
views were expressed by both teachers and students when use of the software was
integrated into the coursework of their classrooms.
