GENERALIZATION
1. The structure of a project concept paper focuses on outlining project goals,
methods, resources, and expected outcomes, while an academic research concept
paper focuses on introducing a research problem, reviewing existing literature,
detailing research objectives and methodology, and discussing potential
contributions to knowledge.
2. Writing a concept paper helps me clarify my ideas and plans before starting a
project or research, making sure I'm on the right track. It's like a roadmap that
guides me through the important steps and aspects of my work, helping me organize
my thoughts effectively.

CONCEPT PAPER FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH
TITLE PAGE: Preparing Students for Future Technology
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: The responsibility of educators in preparing students
for a technologically driven world. With technology rapidly changing, there's a lack of
consensus among educators on how to effectively cultivate digital literacy. This has
led to the emergence of the concept of "digital literacy" in educational discourse.
Given the varying application of instructional methods across grade levels and
subjects, it's vital to identify the most effective approaches that experienced
teachers use to foster digital literacy in students.
Preliminary Literature Review: The preliminary literature review encompasses discussions
surrounding the responsibility of educators in preparing students for a technologically advanced
world. It highlights the emergence of "digital literacy" as a concept in educational discourse due to
the continuous evolution of technology. This review also covers the challenges educators face in
adapting instructional methods across varying subjects and grade levels.
Statement of the Problem/Objectives: The problem identified is the lack of consensus among
educators regarding effective instructional methods for fostering digital literacy due to the rapid
evolution of technology. The objective is to identify and understand the instructional methods
perceived as most effective by experienced teachers in promoting digital literacy among high
school students.
Bridged Methodology: The study employs a postpositivist phenomenological approach, aiming
to explore the perceptions of experienced teachers. It integrates literature on teacher efficacy
(specifically Bandura's concept of "self-efficacy") and digital literacy. The focus is on understanding
how teachers adapt their instructional methods to enhance digital literacy despite the constantly
evolving nature of technology.
Timeline: The estimated span of the research is 6-12 months to conduct the study, gather data
from experienced teachers, analyze findings, and draw conclusions about effective instructional
practices for digital literacy.
