Courses that Deliver: Reflecting on Constructivist Critical Pedagogical Approaches to Teaching Online and On-site Foundations Courses
نویسنده
چکیده
This article explores the transition of a foundations of education course from an on-site to an online delivery format. Constructivist and critical pedagogical theoretical work grounds the course content and approach overall, and specific links are made in terms of creating a similar critical environment while using both delivery methods with master’s level students. The author describes particular adjustments to course assignments, as well as how students mobilize critical reflection about the course issues and the course itself in retrospect. This comparative look at course delivery methods has implications for creating engaging, flexible learning environments in all foundations-related course environments to nurture the development of reflective practitioners.
