Abstract
Abstract During the Spring 2020 semester, K-12 teachers throughout many parts of the world adapted from face-to-face to online teaching. To better understand these experiences, seven advanced placement (AP) Statistics high school teachers were interviewed following a semi-structured protocol. A collaborative and consensus-driven analysis of transcripts revealed 12 distinct themes. The three most extensively discussed themes appeared to be assessment (19.11%), communication methods (12.23%), and use of online instructional approaches (11.90%). Teachers from schools that did not provide devices to students (i.e., not “one-to-one”) tended to report concerns around digital access more frequently (6.87%) and tended to express a more negative sentiment (Sentiment Mean = –.09) than teachers at schools that provided devices (5.69%; Sentiment Mean = 1.35, p < .01). These findings highlight issues facing teachers during the transition to remote and online instruction and suggest a need for supporting teachers in developing familiarity with online and remote assessment resources and strategies.
期刊介绍:
Under the editorship of D. LaMont Johnson, PhD, a nationally recognized leader in the field of educational computing, Computers in the Schools is supported by an editorial review board of prominent specialists in the school and educational setting. Material presented in this highly acclaimed journal goes beyond the “how we did it” magazine article or handbook by offering a rich source of serious discussion for educators, administrators, computer center directors, and special service providers in the school setting. Articles emphasize the practical aspect of any application, but also tie theory to practice, relate present accomplishments to past efforts and future trends, identify conclusions and their implications.
