| dc.description.abstract | Rannsóknir á aðferðum til að efla áhugahvöt nemenda í netnámi hafa farið vaxandi. Hins vegar skortir áherslu á það hvernig umhyggja kennara og tengslamyndun við nemendur þróast og mótast í stafrænu námsumhverfi. Beitt var blönduðum aðferðum til að kanna upplifun nemenda af tengslamyndun og umhyggju kennara og hvernig hegðun kennarans tengdist þessum þáttum. Þátttakendur voru 173 nemendur í lotubundnu, ósamstilltu framhaldsnámskeiði í opinberri stjórnsýslu. Í könnuninni var notast við staðfesta kvarða um umhyggju úr MUSIC-líkani áhugahvatningar og einnig stök viðhorfsspurningar. Nemendur upplifðu umhyggju kennarans mjög sterkt. Gögn úr rýnihópum, opnum spurningum og viðtali við kennara varpa enn dýpri ljósi á niðurstöðurnar. Skipulag námskeiðsins, gæði námsefnis, skýrar leiðbeiningar, jákvæð samskipti, stuðningur og persónuleg nærvera kennarans höfðu mikil áhrif. Upplifun nemenda af tengslum við samnemendur var breytileg. Kennslustrategíur ættu að vera skipulagðar þannig að nemendur skynji umhyggju kennarans, þar sem þessi þáttur eflir áhugahvöt og nám nemenda. | is |
| dc.description.abstract | There is increasing research on strategies for fostering students’ motivation online. However, a focus is lacking on the role of teacher caring and connectedness and how these motivational constructs develop in the online environment. Mixed methods were used to assess students’ perceptions of connectedness and teacher caring and how the teacher’s behavior related to these factors. Participants were 173 students in an asynchronous, online graduate course in public administration. A survey included a validated caring scale from the MUSIC Model of Motivation Inventory and single items. Students’ perceptions of teacher caring were very strong. Data from focus groups, open questions, and a teacher interview cast a deeper light on the results. Course structures with quality material, clear directions, positive communication, support, and personal presence were influential. Students’ sense of peer connectedness varied. Instructional strategies should be planned so that students perceive teacher caring, as this factor improves student motivation and learning. | en |
