OverviewAI-generated summary
Jessica Herring Watson's research focuses on educational technology, particularly concerning preservice and special education teachers. Her work investigates how teachers intend to use and actually implement technology in learning environments, including virtual and hybrid settings. Watson has explored the development and validation of scales to measure technology adoption, such as the intention to use technology-enabled learning (I-TEL) scale. She also examines factors influencing creative pathmaking in educational contexts, including psychological safety and productive failure. Her publications address the practicalities of educational technology implementation, such as adjusting course structures for optimal learning and predicting the use of assistive technology by special educators. Watson collaborates with researchers at the University of Central Arkansas, including Michael Mills, Matthew White, Noël Gieringer, and Rachelle Miller, and has an h-index of 6 with 256 citations across 26 publications.
