Classroom Performance System (CPS) Lori Oren, EdS candidate Diffusion and Integration of Technology in Education, EDUC 7101/8841 Walden University Dec. 31, 2009, version 1
Abstract The CPS system by eInstruction is a highly beneficial technology which engages students, while instantly assessing learning.
Stages of Innovation Development • Need • Research • Development • Commercialization
Need: Identification and Description of CPS • The CPS is a student response system: a system of small, hand-held devices that allow students to respond to verbal or visual prompts, providing immediate feedback on individual student results, as well as data on the entire group.
Need: Why CPS is a useful tool The data from CPS provides: • Information for designing learning groups for differentiated instruction • Information to determine intervention needs • Documentation on the need for redelivery of skills.
Need CPS data can also be used: • To assess learning • To provide documentation of lesson quality
Research (diffusion study) The research study by Boscardin, Crawford, Masyn & Penuel (2007) is representative of Roger’s (2004) consequences of innovation diffusion research. The authors (Boscardin, Crawford, Masyn, & Penuel (2007) identify the users of CPS as: • Infrequent users • those who use it for the purpose of evaluating instructional techniques • those who use it for varying purposes, but infrequently • those who use it both widely and frequently. The research therefore, fully examines the nature and use of the CPS systems. The research conducted here has implications for classroom learning, achievement, engagement, and teacher improvement.
Development CPS by eInstruction
Commercialization Multiple vendors manufacture and sell classroom performance systems, or audience participation systems, for business use.
