A Qualitative Inquiry of K-12 Teachers' Experience with Open Educational Practices: Perceived Benefits and Barriers of Implementing Open Educational Resources
Tang, Hengtao
International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, v21 n3 p211-229 Sep 2020
Teachers in K-12 schools have shown an increasing desire for open educational resources (OER) to ensure all students can learn effectively. OER provide teachers with free access to open-licensed educational resources that they can retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute for personalized instruction. Open educational practices (OEP) have been considered a pathway to reinforce the acceptance and readiness of K-12 teachers to use OER. This research thus showcases a qualitative study that investigates teachers' experiences with OEP. This research explains K-12 teachers' perceived benefits of implementing OER and also discusses their perceived barriers hindering OER usage in K-12 settings. The study also discusses the practical implications of integrating OER in K-12 curriculum.
