Abstract
With an increased emphasis on teaching and learning literacy in the content areas, this multi-year study measures urban preservice social studies teacher beliefs about integrating digital documents and tools into the curriculum at a large, Northeast, public university. The researchers developed and validated a 50-item Likert survey, and the quantitative data will be triangulated with journal reflections and structured exit interviews in a mixed-method design.
