Which description best matches the SAMR model of technology integration?

• A. A framework for evaluating student performance using standardized tests.
• B. Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition of tasks enabled by technology to enhance learning.
• C. Levels of classroom management using digital tools.
• D. A sequence of device deployment stages.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that SAMR is a framework for describing how technology integration can change learning tasks. It maps four levels that move from using tech as a simple substitute for a traditional activity to transforming the task in ways that create new learning possibilities. At the substitution level, technology replaces a tool with no real change in how the task works. At augmentation, tech still substitutes but adds functional improvements. At modification, technology allows a substantial redesign of the task, changing how students approach and complete it. At the redefine level, technology enables activities that were previously unimaginable, such as collaborating globally or producing outcomes that leverage advanced digital capabilities. The description here captures exactly that sequence and purpose—using technology to enhance learning by progressing through these transformative stages. The other options describe different ideas (assessment performance, classroom management, or device deployment) and don’t address the framework for transforming tasks with technology.
