• In Event: Transformative Research in Online Graduate Programs

Abstract

This research project aims to investigate graduate students’ satisfaction levels with online learning associated with human (professor/instructor and instructional associate) and design factors (course structure and technical aspects). A total of 81 graduate students (Master’s students majoring in math and science education) enrolled in an on-line math methods course participated in this study. The participants were composed of 68 female and 13 male students. All participants reported that they work in the field of math and/or science education. Seventy-two participants were pre-K-12 school teachers.
