to Knowledge Building
Pre-service
Teacher Education: Supporting Learning and Engagement
Through Online Knowledge Building
Brett & Moosabhoy
®Students found the online

®Possible
Reasons:
®(1)
Two courses integrated through online conference, this year, rather than just one
®(2)
Lack of experience using WebKF or an online forum in deepening ideas
l(difficulty navigating views & not recognizing
importance of build-ons)
®(3)
Epistemology of learning for group appeared more transmission-oriented
®(4)
Several preferred face-to-face interaction than online
®(5)
For some, time required and redundancy of ideas covered in class discouraged engagement
