Theusual justificationforthismassive invasion—putforwardbybothgovernments and businesses—is that IWBs can improve school andacademic outcomes for learners by improving teaching practices, bydiversifyingteachingresources(e.g.,graphics,videos,audio),andbyin-troducingmoreinteractiveteachingandlearningactivities.Nevertheless,thearrivalofthistechnologyinQuébecandelsewhereraisesquestionsaboutitsactualusefulnessforschools,particularlyfromacost–benefitperspective.

words,theIWBhasthepotentialtoallowstudentstocollaborate(seealsoLittleton,2010;Saltanetal.,2009;Warwicketal.,2010),butonlyincertaincircumstances.ForLittleton(2010),theIWB,byenablingteachingatthefrontoftheclass,actually“saves time.”Finally,Dostal(2011)notesthattheIWBcanalsomakeiteasiertoarchiveandsharewrittenwork.Whatdoesallthishavetodowithstudents’educationaloutcomes?Todate, few serious studies have shown any real impacts of the IWB onacademicachievement.Instead,theyhavegenerallyfoundeithernoim-pacts(see,e.g.,Lopez,2010)orelseminimallypositiveimpactsforcertainsubjects—suchasmathematics(seeSwanetal.,2008),whichcouldbeattributedmoretotheattentionpaidtotheparticipatingstudentsthantotheimpactsoftheIWBitself—,orelsenegativeimpacts(seeMossetal.,2010).

Türel (2010) and Khambari and colleagues (2014) contend that not asinglestudytodatehasconcludedthat the IWBhaspositive impactsonacademicachievement.Infact,itisjusttheopposite:theseauthorsarguethatthemanytechnicalissuescombinedwithlackofsupport(seealsoFekonja-Peklajetal.,2015)aremorelikelytounderminemotivationinbothstudentsandteachers. Inthereviewedmeta-analyses,severalauthorsalsounderscoredcertainnegativeimpactsoftheIWB,suchasthetimethatteacherswastewhentheyteachwithitandthescarcityofsupporttechnicalhelp(seeDostal,2011).Accordingtootherresear-chers,whenteachersusetheIWB,theyspendmoretimedealingwithtechnologyissuesthanattendingtowhattheirstudentsarelearning(seeSundbergetal.,2012).

Theoverallfindingsofthesestudiesleadtoonlytworealconclusions:thatstudentsaremoremotivated—althoughthismotivationdiminisheswith time—(see Higgins et al., 2007), and that teachers can providebetterpresentationsoftheoreticalcontent—albeitusingalecture-styleapproach(seeLittleton,2010).

Similarly,arecentOECDreport(September2015)calledStudents, Com-puters and Learning: Making the Connection addressesissuesoftheedu-cationaluseoftheIWB.Thisextensiveinternationalinvestigation(over30countries)oftheimpactsofinformationandcommunicationtechnology(ICT)oneducationshowsthatcountriesthatwereearlyadaptorsofcom-putertechnologyforteachingandlearning(likethosethatfirstacquiredtheIWB)tendtoshowpoorerlearningoutcomes.Anditgetsworse.Insomeschools,themorethatstudentsusenewtechnology,theworsethelearningoutcomes:“[…]but students who use computers very frequently at school do a lot worse in most learning outcomes, even after accounting for social background and student demographics”(p.3).Ofcourse,therearesomeexceptions,whichsuggeststhateventhoughtechnologyholdsenormouspotential,theteachercontinuestoplayacentralrole.

To date, few serious studies have

shown any impacts of the IWB on academic

The overall findings of these studies lead to only two real conclu-

Theobjectiveof this studywas to identifyhowthe interactivewhite-board(IWB)isusedinQuébecschoolsandtheassociatedbenefitsandchallenges.Thissectionpresentstheresearchmethodinaccordancewiththeguidelinesof the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition(2013).First,theparticipantsarepresented(3.1),followedbythedatacollectioninstruments(3.2)andthedataanalysisstrategies(3.3).Adiscussionofthemethodologicalstrengthsandlimi-tations(3.4)concludesthissectionofthereport.

3.1 Participants

Thestudyparticipantsincluded11,683studentsenrolledinQuébecscho-ols(from4thyearelementaryto5thyearhighschool)and1,131teachers.Thestudents(6,211girls,5,472boys)werefrom10to18yearsold,withanaverageageof14.1years.Figure3showsthat88.4%wereattendinghighschool(n=10,324)and11.6%(1,359)wereattendingelementaryschool(mainly6thyear).Oftheteachers,67.4%(634women,497men)hadfrom11to25yearsofteachingexperience(seeFigure4).ThesubjectstheytaughtcoveredtherangeofthecurriculumtaughtintheQuébeceducationsystem.ParticipantswereselectedonavoluntarybasisfromschoolsinwhichtheIWBwasusedinclass.StudydatawerecollectedfromAugust2014toMay2015.

Oneofthemainstrengthsofthisstudyistheresearchmetho-dology.Thecombinationofonlinequestionnairesandindividualandgroupinterviewsprovidesamajoradvantagebyallowingtriangulationofmultipledatasources.However,therearealsocertain limitations. First, the use of participants’ perceptionsmaybeconsideredalimitation,whichweattemptedtooffsetbyexaminingaverylargesample(n=12,814participants:11,683students,1,131teachers)andusingavarietyofdatacollectiontools.Toreducethismethodologicalbias,responsesbydifferentrespondenttypesweresystematicallycomparedinordertohi-ghlightdifferences.

In fact, the students andteachersweredrawnspecificallyfromQuébecclassroomsthatcontainedanIWB.Why?Becauseforthisparticularstudy,itwouldbedifficultorimpossibletorandomlyselecttheparticipants.Forinstance, how could we have required students and teacherstoparticipateinthesurvey?Therefore,weusedaconveniencesample,oranon-probabilitysample.Ratherthantoprovidere-presentation,theaimwasinsteadtoreachabodyofrespondentsthatwasavailable,voluntary,andsearchable.ThesoleconditionforparticipationwasthatanIWBhadtobepresentinatleastoneoftheparticipant’sclassrooms.

4.1 How was the IWB used?

WebeganbyaskingtheteachershowoftentheyusedtheIWB(Figure5).Thesurveydatarevealedthat48.2%ofteachersusedtheIWB“always”or“often,”versus39.3%whousedit“sometimes”or“rarely,”andonly12.6%who“never”usedit.

Teacherswhousedit“sometimes”or“rarely,”feltthatitwasoverlycom-plicatedtouse,andthatthetechnologicalproblemsweredaunting:

“[…] sometimes, it’s not programmed […] it takes a long time to do and I don’t have the time before class […]” (highschoolteacher).

“[…] because it doesn’t always work […] I only use it when I have extra time […]” (highschoolteacher).

“[…] I sometimes use it […] but I have my plan B […] it hardly ever works […]” (highschoolteacher)..

OftheteacherswhoneverusedtheIWB,somewereunabletouseitduetotechnicalproblems:“[…] I’ve been waiting now for over two months […] the lamp doesn’t work anymore […]” (elementaryschoolteacher).Therewerealsothosewhodidn’tthinkthattheyneededittoteach:“[…] I never asked for it […] it’s complicated […] and I don’t think it’s very useful […] so, no […] I don’t use it” (highschoolteacher).

“[…] it takes up a lot of teaching time […] you see, to learn how to use the IWB, I have to give up even more of my evenings and weekends […]” (elementaryschoolteacher).

“[…] preparing lessons for the IWB […] it really takes a lot of time […] which I don’t have […]” (highschoolteacher).

“[…] I find that I have to fool with the Interactive whiteboard before every class […] it takes too much time […]” (highschoolteacher).

“[…] learning how to use all the IWB features […] it takes time […]” (highschoolteacher).

“[…] for me, it’s finding materials that takes up my time […]”(highschoolteacher).
