Developing a Mathematical Community Using an Electronic Discussion Forum in an Elementary Mathematics Methods Course - Julie Sliva
This study was designed to inspect the impact of using online discussion forum (a password-protected asynchronous web-based discussion forum) in an elementary methods course. The results of this study were that students felt that they were part of a community of learners and became more aware of current research in the field of mathematics education. Furthermore, some had begun to evidence signs of becoming a "teacher as researcher." Students who were often reticent about participating in class contributed to discussions on the forum, became more thoughtful about their responses, and increased their use of technology to facilitate their learning.
