FACILITATING STUDENT TEACHERS DURING PRACTICUM: A CASE STUDY USING A WEB 2.0 ONLINE COMMUNITY Apostolos Kostas, Alivisos
Sofos, An Information
and Communication Technologies (ICT) based community was designed,
operated, and evaluated, to support student teachers during their
practical work (practicum) in the department of Education in the
University of the Aegean. A Web 2.0 social network was used as
collaborative non-formal learning space among educators and students
that worked on open and closed activities. The research framework
was based on: (a) the exploration of reflection levels and
perceptions of professional identity of student teachers during
practicum, through their participation in an online community
setting; and (b) on evaluating the impact of Web 2.0 spaces on
teachers’ practicum during an academic semester. In this paper, we
discuss the research settings and the processes and present some
preliminary results. |
