Designing online professional learning network for developing researcherly dispositions of pre-service teachers

Abstract

Researcherly disposition is a quality which is rarely studied with pre-service teachers. For developing researcherly disposition, online networks are brought to agenda now. This study aims to design an online professional learning network (PLN) and to investigate its effect on pre-service teachers' researcherly dispositions. Concurrent embedded experimental mixed design is used as a research method. Related Samples T-Tests, ANCOVA are used for analysis of quantitative data; and content analysis method is used for analysis of qualitative data. Findings indicate that online professional learning networks provide good opportunities of research. increase pre-service teachers' research-based decisions, their sharing of educational studies. Also, they help pre-service teachers to value research and update their instructional knowledge.

Developing networked online learning designs and its effectiveness on the works of students in education: Case studies in Indonesia

“…Several studies showed the benefits of using networks in online learning (Anders, 2018;Durak, 2017). However, this study differs from others that focus on social (As'at, Setyosari & Ulfa, 2017), personal (Issa, El Ghalayini, Shubita & Abu-Arqoub, 2014), and professional learning network designs (Trust, 2012;Yokuş & Yanpar-Yelken, 2019). The development of this design focuses on how to collaborate the connections and interactions of existing structures and make them complex and systematic.…”
