Perceived Impact of Global Online Teacher Professional Development for English Language Educators of Young Learners (Poster 17)
Sat, April 15, 9:50 to 11:20am CDT (9:50 to 11:20am CDT), Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: East Tower - Exhibit Level, Riverside West Exhibition HallAbstract
Understanding how online teacher professional development (OTPD) courses designed for global participants influence their learning and application at their culturally and linguistically diverse local contexts is important and necessary for online course administrators, developers, participants and researchers. This case study explored the perceived impact of an OTPD program taken by English language educators of young learners. Data such as course assignment submissions, virtual semi-structured interviews, and voluntarily submitted artifacts were collected from 20 participants from 16 different countries. Etic analysis using Desimone’s (2009) conceptual framework for effective professional development (PD) and emic analysis for emergent themes revealed that a global OTPD can have positive influence of learning and application in various local contexts. Design elements for effective OTPD are recommended.
