Abstract: Improving instructional decision-making by observing the use and impact of technology integration in the classroom was the focus of this case study research analysis effort. The investigation empirically connected classroom observational data (retrieved by external trained classroom observers using I-Pad technology) to student cognitive/affective data using a Relational Feedback Intervention (RFI) Database Model. The RFI Model utilizes Multiple Regression Analysis to determine the effectiveness of the use of technology in instruction (classroom observational data) on student outcomes and technology acceptance levels in a high school setting. The RFI Model provides formative and summative feedback information regarding technology integration within three curriculum areas: (a) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM); (b) Social Sciences (English, Humanities, and Related Subjects); and (c) Electives (Art, Music, Speech, Physical Education, and Related Subjects). Results and implications of the case study provide empirical information for improving classroom instruction and technology integration decision-making for school leaders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
