Teachers' Perceptions of K–12 Online Learning: An Action Research Project in a Graduate Course
American Educational Research Association 2022 Annual Meeting
Thu, April 21, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), San Diego Convention Center, Floor: Upper Level, Room 2
Abstract - The past 18 months have underscored the importance of teachers knowledge of teaching with technology. However, while the number of K-12 learners in traditional online opportunities has continued to increase, online teaching is still absent in most teacher education programs. In this session, we report the fourth cycle of an action research project examining K-12 online learning curriculum. The data generated four themes: the benefits and challenges of K-12 online learning, success factors need for K-12 online learning, growing acceptance of K-12 online learning, and student self-efficacy for teaching online. Recommendations to improve the course included updating the course readings, adding case studies on student anxiety and in urban settings, and a focus on online teacher readiness.
