"Letting go of the reins": the evolution of pedagogy in an online graduate program
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the evolution of pedagogy in an online graduate program developed from a social constructivist perspective. One professor’s first year of teaching was explored through an end-of-year interview, as well as an analysis of newsgroup threads from fall and spring courses. The analyses suggest that this professor gave over more control of course discussions and activities to the students, while at the same time grappling with issues of how to ‘be herself’ as a teacher in an online environment. The two methods provide different lenses for viewing the professor’s development and its consequences for her students.
