Research has shown that factors related to the home learning environment are roughly twice as significant in influencing the social and cognitive development of young children as any factors related to preschool (Siraj-Blatchford, Taggart, Sylva, Sammons, & Melhuish, 2008). Therefore, maintaining a reciprocal connection between the home learning environment and school has become a critical component of early childhood educational programs in Canada. Recently, early childhood practitioners have been turning to pedagogical documentation technology (PDT) to forge this connection. This study examined the impact of a PDT, called Storypark, on the home-school connection in 11 kindergarten classrooms at four schools in a large, urban school district in Ontario. By applying Vicente's (2003) Human-tech framework to cognitive work analysis (CWA), this study followed a design research methodology to examine the impact of and promising practices for PDT use in Ontario's Kindergarten Program. Eight lessons pertaining to PDT and two lessons pertaining to CWA resulted from these analyses.PDT lessons showed that PDT supported: 1) Parent-educator communication, 2) The parent-educator relationship, 3) Parents' understanding of their children's classroom learning, 4) Educators' and parents' understanding of The Kindergarten Program curriculum, 5) Conversations between parents and their children, 6) Student learning and 7) Parents' involvement in their children's learning. However, while PDT supported these areas of the home-school connection, the eighth PDT lesson showed that the Human-tech relationship could be improved to support a stronger home-school connection. CWA lessons showed that CWA: 1) Predicted the extent to which a PDT was successfully adopted and 2) Provided useful information about which Human-tech factors need to be modified in order to support a more effective adoption of PDT. More specifically, factors pertaining to the political and organizational levels of the work environment were identified. This thesis makes important contributions to a growing evidence base, which demonstrates the positive impact that PDT can have in promoting educator-parent communication and partnerships, parent-child conversations and student learning in early childhood educational settings. Furthermore, it is the first study of its kind to identify promising practices for PDT use in the context of an early learning program in Canada.
