Higher Ed - Qualitative Research; Lasisi Ajayi, San Diego State University
This study explores alternative-licensed teachers' views of how an asynchronous discussion board mediated their preparation to teach literacy through methods courses. Forty-four alternative-licensed teachers were taught literacy teaching methods using the asynchronous discussion hoard as a tool of extending learning. Each participant responded to a survey and wrote a six-page reflection to summarize his/her views of the role of the asynchronous discussion board in learning to teach literacy. This article includes a discussion of the implications of the findings. (This is a paid product for non-ISTE members at $5)Links:
