Online Learning – Research
Abstract
Authentic problems have the potential to engage students and promote deep learning of course content. Perhaps the most authentic problems are ones that come from real-life experiences. Graduate students in online education courses were engaged in critical reflection and a process to identify problems from their own practice. They used those problems as a basis for applying course content.To determine whether this format of problem identification and solution contributed to student learning, a discourse analysis of student posts was conducted and student responses to a survey were and analyzed to document evidence of learning and application of course concepts.
