Abstract

Enrollment in online schools (OS) has increased significantly in recent years. Due to advancements in technology, OS are able to provide education entirely online to K–12 students. Despite their growth, there has been little research on the working environments of OS. This paper explores teacher perceptions about working conditions in OS. We use data from the 2015 to 2016 National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS) to estimate multi-level models using HLM to determine the effects of the online environment. We find that teachers working in OS are less satisfied with their levels of classroom control; however, they report higher levels of administrative support and collegiality.

考察美国教师在网络学校的工作条件

近年来，网校（OS）的招生人数大幅增加。由于技术的进步，OS 能够为 K-12 学生提供完全在线的教育。尽管网校在不断发展，但有关网校工作环境的研究却很少。本文探讨了教师对操作系统工作条件的看法。我们利用 2015 年至 2016 年全国教师和校长调查（NTPS）的数据，使用 HLM 估算多层次模型，以确定在线环境的影响。我们发现，在操作系统中工作的教师对课堂控制的满意度较低；但是，他们对行政支持和同事关系的满意度较高。
