Description

The online TPACK learning trajectory organizes professional learning around two tools and two processes within a social metacognitive constructivist framework. As printed, "Two tools support the online professional development: (1) a community of learners and (2) reflection," supporting social and cognitive presence; the two key processes are shared/individual knowledge development and inquiry learning, in which learners move between group and individual knowledge-building and investigate worthy questions. Reflection happens through reflective essays, peer reviews, and online portfolios.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Establishing a community of learners to support communication and interaction in the asynchronous online environment
• Critical reflection activities such as reflective essays, peer review, and portfolios

Constraints

• The primarily asynchronous nature of online learning poses additional challenges for the design of these educational experiences

Target Learners

• in-service mathematics teachers in graduate online courses

Learning Goals

• reframing teacher knowledge for teaching mathematics with technologies
• knowledge-building through inquiry and discourse
