Exploring Associations Between Participant Online Content Engagement and Outcomes in an Online Professional Development Programme
Résumé
Online Professional Development (PD) programmes for government school teachers provide benefits of low costs to the administration and flexible schedules for the participants. However, research on the use of technology in PD programmes has reported mixed results, thus warranting further investigation. Exploring the associations between the variation in engagement of and outcomes among the participants may provide insights for future research. The paper presents analysis of pageview logs and survey responses of 6933 participants of an online PD programme. First, four latent online engagement profiles were extracted using mixture modelling. Then, associations between participants’ latent profiles and reported change in self-efficacy beliefs were analyzed. Finally, limitations and implications of the work are presented.
