Mark Grabe , Ph.D.
Dr. Mark Grabe received his Ph.D. as an Educational
Psychologist from Iowa State University in
1975. He became interested in the application
of technology as part of his research interests
(e.g., development of critical reading skills
in elementary readers, development of study
skills in freshman college students) and has
publications based on these interests dating
back to 1984. His present interests focus on
a) the use of technology to improve the decision-making
processes influencing the study behavior of
introductory college students enrolled in large
courses, b) multimedia authoring as learning
activities in K-12 settings, and c) the role
of teacher beliefs in determining how and if
technology will be used in K-12 classrooms.
He has received grant support for his research
and development activities from the National
Science Foundation, the Spencer Foundation,
Apple Computer, and the Department of Education.
Mark and Cindy Grabe are internationally known
for their work in technology integration, and they are coauthors of a leading
textbook on this topic: Integrating Technology for Meaningful Learning - 4th
