Abstract
This scientific essay examines the reframing of instructors' mental schemas while integrates technology through executive education. While still dominant in executive education, “blackboard and chalk” delivery is increasingly being complemented by technology. Executive instructors have more technological resources at their disposal, but they face the challenge of communicating the same amount of content in less time. The objective of this research is to understand how instructors develop their technical skills to create more effective and memorable learning experiences. This essay answers the question: How do executive instructors learn to integrate technology? Technology integration is the way the technology’s enablements and constraints are embedded into a practice. After exploring various theories on both adult and experience learning and reflective practitioners, it was found that instructors must reframe their mental schemas to learn how to integrate technology properly. It is concluded that the promotion of self-awareness in the midst of teaching action can enable this integration. Future research should address the use of technology integration models within executive instructors.
