Harriet Fayne, Ph.D. Otterbein College “We Expect Perfect Attendance, Physical or Virtual—You Choose” Taking Hybrid Course Design to a New Level
Self-Study “Study of the self and study by the self.” (Samaras & Freese, 2006)
Self-Study Researchers • Focus on personal as well as professional growth • Use personal history to understand current actions (biography, autobiography, narrative) • Examine their beliefs and actions in order to determine whether there is a “disconnect” between the two • Are willing to be open about their weaknesses, fears, prejudices, etc. • Collaborate with others throughout the self-study process
My “Disconnect” Belief: Instructors should be inclusive and responsive. Actions: I teach a time and space-bound course that creates barriers for practicing teachers.
Will incorporating hybrid course design and providing students with a choice of a virtual or physical class each week narrow the gap between my beliefs and practice? What impact will hybrid design have on student learning? Classroom community? Research Questions
