TAILIEUCHUNG - Supporting teacher reflection through online discussion

The purpose of this case study was to investigate online discussion as a means to promote critical reflection. The study was conducted during a semester-long graduate course on issues related to literacy instructional strategies. The participants in the study were four reading education candidates. During the semester they participated in online discussion about course readings and reflected on their own teaching experiences. The data sources were the online discussion postings, responses to questionnaires, and interviews. The results suggest that technology-mediated discussion strengthens the learning community, facilitates sharing of professional experience among participants, and enhances teacher reflection. The results also point to the multi-faceted nature of teacher reflection. | Knowledge Management E-Learning An International Journal Vol. 3 No. 4. 548 Supporting Teacher Reflection through Online Discussion Jiening Ruan Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education University of Oklahoma USA E-mail jruan@ Priscilla L.
