Teaching online and cross-discipline teaching are new experiences for many instructors.
Our aim was to solicit the experiences of a group of College of Education faculty about teaching medical professionals in an online master's degree in education program.
We used a focus group approach (eight instructors) to explore and gain a deeper understanding about teaching medical professionals by instructors who are in cross disciplines (e.g., nonmedical backgrounds).
The data were analyzed using a qualitative thematic analysis approach. Six themes emerged from the instructors' comments about online teaching to medical professionals compared with other students they have taught in a classroom setting.
This study has implications for online teachers and for those who are planning cross-discipline teaching programs.
对于许多教师来说,在线教学和跨学科教学都是新的体验。
我们的目的是征求一组教育学院教师的经验,了解他们在在线教育硕士课程中教授医学专业人员的情况。
我们采用焦点小组方法(八名教师),探索和深入了解跨学科(例如,非医学背景)教师教授医学专业人员的情况。
使用定性主题分析方法对数据进行了分析。与在课堂环境中教授的其他学生相比,教师对在线教授医学专业人员的评论中出现了六个主题。
这项研究对在线教师和计划跨学科教学计划的人具有启示意义。
