Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore relationship between teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and their choice of online instructional activities.

Furthermore, correlation analysis revealed that classroom activities tend to be more active and student-centered when teachers have higher constructivist pedagogical beliefs.
