Geer, Cynthia; Hamill, Lee
Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, v15 n4 p533-553 2007
This research investigated the use of electronic journaling to promote collaboration between special education and general education preservice teachers. During the field experience component of their methods courses, the participants responded to weekly prompts, shared experiences with each other, and frequently offered advice about events their peers had described. Qualitative analysis of those exchanges yielded 15 subthemes within six major themes. (Contains 2 figures, 2 tables and 1 note.)
