Research Overview

• Karley Beckman is a researcher and teacher educator in educational technology in the School of Education. Karley’s area of expertise is in digital technologies and education. Her body of research explores children, young people and adult learners’ technology practice and implications for learning. Her doctoral research investigated high school students’ technology practices with particular interest in understanding how young people engage with technologies across their everyday lives and educational contexts. Central to Karley’s body of research is a sociological framing to critically engage with issues of digital inequality, digital literacy and toward developing a theoretically informed understanding of the place of technology in people’s lives.

  Her current research, undertaken with colleagues both locally and internationally, involves a number of projects that explore aspects of technology practice in young people’s lives as they transition from high school into a range of post-school contexts; and projects exploring higher education students’ engagement in online learning.

  Other research interests include pre-service teachers and teacher’s digital literacy and learning design with digital technology, particularly the ways teachers can design learning to address digital inequality; the role of self-regulation in online learning environments in higher education; and sociology of education and technology.
