Establishing priorities and directions for future research in the sub-discipline of IT in education, the book is structured around five foci: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003etheory \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehistory \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eresearch directions \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emethodology \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eresearch topics. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book argues for the enormous power of IT to enable fundamental research that both refines and develops theory and practice in education. High quality research that advances knowledge and educational practice in this area will generally require longer timelines and more complex data collection and analysis methods. The authors draw attention to the value of theoretical frameworks used in mainstream educational research and highlight the early theoretical work on the subject of IT in education. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eResearching IT in Education\u003c\/em\u003e is the only book in its area to focus on methodological and research design issues.
