摘要

Using qualitative phenomenological inquiry, this study presents the experiences various educational staff roles have with implementing digital monitoring applications (MA) to protect k-12 students from harm. Participants of the study include 27 educational staff, including administrators, technology facilitators, technology directors, school counselors, and teachers selected through convenience sampling participated in structured interviews. Through multiple rounds of thematic coding, researchers identified 3 domains within the data: the parts that make up the whole, tension within a humanistic aspect: social agency, and MA use: easy to pick up, difficult to master. The findings suggest that the role that each staff member played in the implementation of monitoring applications attributed to the variance in MA intent and response. Implications for MA use, future needs, and continuous protection and surveillance of students are discussed.
