This document outlines Andy Saltarelli's teaching philosophy project where he analyzed teaching philosophy documents from 1999-2004 and 2005-2010 to test two hypotheses: 1) that more recent documents would have less text and more links, and 2) that more recent documents would use more constructivist words while older documents used more direct instruction words. The analysis found some support for the second hypothesis but not the first. It concluded more research is needed using larger samples and more advanced statistical analysis to better understand how teaching philosophies have changed with the rise of online learning and web tools.

Teaching Philosophy - Web
- 1. Teaching PhilosophyAndy Saltarelli, CEP 952
- 3. Pregame – Web Presence
- 4. Pregame – Web Presence
- 5. Why – Joining Search in ProgressAttended Kevin Johnston’s Teaching Philosophy Session 1… got too busy teaching to finish the second session.
- 6. Why – Biosocial Perspective
- 7. Why – Thinking on the FlyCEP 260 Class Discussion: Q: What do you expect your instructors to do? What are their core responsibilities?
- 9. Q: What is one word you could use to describe my role in this class (e.g., transmitter, catalyst).
- 10. A: [is this mic on?]
- 11. Q: What is a “quality” learning experience for you? What do you hope this class will do for you 5 years from now?
- 12. A: [Bueller, Bueller…]
- 13. Q: What should we do more of?
- 14. A: YouTube, YouTube, YouTube!!!!Why – These Times are a-Changin’Cause for pause…Information and the Internet –”Post-Gutenberg Revo”Tech-Immersed LearnersAlbeit “selectively native”Proliferation of Online LearningComputer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL)… and the tools to do itWeb 2.0 – Cheap, Flexible, CustomizableE.g., blogs, wikis, CMS, Video sharing, video conferencing, whiteboards, virtual worlds, free content, mind maps, ETC!
- 15. Why – A QuestionHas the rise of online learning (and CSCL in particular) changed how we look at “teaching philosophy”? Should it?Constructivist vs. Direct Instruction ModelsCompare 1999-2004 to 2005-2010“Web 2.0” Coined in 2004
- 16. Why - HypothesesH1: The rise of CSCL and Web 2.0 tools has re-focusedthe teaching community to constructivist, collaborative, and semi-directed teaching practices.H1a: There will be less text and more links in the 2005-2010 hits.H1b: There will be more direct instruction words used in 1999-2004 and more constructivist words used in 2005-2010.
- 17. How – Two Ways1) Page Descriptives:# Words in Code# Characters in Code# Words in Page# Characters in Page# Links on Page2) Content Analysis:# Times Words Used:
- 18. Constructivism
- 19. Guide
- 20. Explore
- 21. Collaborate
- 23. Educate
- 24. Disseminate
- 25. KnowledgeHow – Google (of course)Date Page was First Crawled by Google~ 5 years EachAnalyze Top 15 Hits for Each Search
- 26. How – Lots of Keyboard ShortcutsFollow URL + U + A + C + Tab + V + MS Word Count = # Txt/Char in Code
- 27. How – Lots of Keyboard ShortcutsTab +V + TextWrangler + F + href = #Links
- 28. How – …and TextWrangler
- 29. What – Lots of Raw Date
- 30. What – The Descriptives: MeansAverages Over Top 15 Hits for Each Time Period
- 31. What – The LinksAverage # of Links Over the 15 Hits for Each Time Period
- 32. What – The Words# of Times Word is Used Across the 15 Hits
- 33. Conclusions H1a: There will be less text and more links in the 2005-2010 hits.No, YES!H1b: There will be more direct instruction words used in 1999-2004 and more constructivist words used in 2005-2010.Yes, perhaps would play out over larger sample
- 34. Conclusion – The FutureHow to mine this data more efficiently?Apply more sophisticated statistical techniques to control for variables and increase validity.Use qualitative analysis to glean themes from the text of the pages.Write my own stinkin’ teaching philosophy.
