15. Why – A Question Has the rise of online learning (and CSCL in particular) changed how we look at “teaching philosophy”? Should it? Constructivist vs. Direct Instruction Models Compare 1999-2004 to 2005-2010 “Web 2.0” Coined in 2004
16. Why - Hypotheses H1: The rise of CSCL and Web 2.0 tools has re-focusedthe teaching community to constructivist, collaborative, and semi-directed teaching practices. H1a: There will be less text and more links in the 2005-2010 hits. H1b: There will be more direct instruction words used in 1999-2004 and more constructivist words used in 2005-2010.
30. What – The Descriptives: Means Averages Over Top 15 Hits for Each Time Period
31. What – The Links Average # of Links Over the 15 Hits for Each Time Period
32. What – The Words # of Times Word is Used Across the 15 Hits
33. Conclusions H1a: There will be less text and more links in the 2005-2010 hits. No, YES! H1b: There will be more direct instruction words used in 1999-2004 and more constructivist words used in 2005-2010. Yes, perhaps would play out over larger sample
34. Conclusion – The Future How to mine this data more efficiently? Apply more sophisticated statistical techniques to control for variables and increase validity. Use qualitative analysis to glean themes from the text of the pages. Write my own stinkin’ teaching philosophy.
