experiences of female 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 completing a full-time aboriginal program by computer-mediated communication
abstract
this naturalistic inquiry examines the experiences of female aboriginal 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
who
were completing a full-time college program by computer-mediated communication (cmc).
the college program was designed for the preparation of aboriginal teacher assistants. the
background literature examines the work of previous scholars on listening to women’s
voices, connected learning, appropriate technology for aboriginal learners and the use of
computer-mediated communication in meeting learners’ needs. eight 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
volunteered to
participate in the study. two were lost through attrition.
data were collected through two sets of face-to-face interviews, one set of
telephone interviews, field notes and observation of online messages posted by the
participants. participant profiles were created from the participants’ own words, and the data
were analysed for emergent themes. three themes were identified. these included
demographics, prior educational experiences and learning preferences.
the analyses of the interrelationships resulted in the identification of barriers to
positive post secondary educational learning experiences and to the participants’ concepts of
themselves as learners. the participants’ experiences in the aboriginal teacher assistant
program were then examined in relationship to these barriers.
the participants’ successfully completed this full-time college program and reported
positive experiences in doing so. through the analyses of their experiences, factors that led
to the participants’ success were identified. it was determined that for these women to be
successful, not only must education must be community-based, flexible, and holistic but also
foster and nurture relationships between and among 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and instructor. these factors
were supported by the cmc method o f delivery.
implications include providing (1) appropriate technologies, (2) multiple ways of
connecting and interacting and (3) face-to-face components when delivering aboriginal
programs to women at a distance. it also is important that we identify the characteristics of
teachers who are respectful to aboriginal values and who are successful in creating
interpersonal connectedness through computer-mediated communicative alternatives.
