A Study of Preservice Science Teachers' Interactions with a Web-Based Forum.

Bodzin, Alec M.; Park, John C.

Electronic Journal of Science Education, v3 n1 Sep 1998

In order to examine the potential benefits and existing barriers of preservice science teachers engaging in an electronic professional community on the World Wide Web, a "Web Forum" was constructed called the SciTeach forum. Although there are barriers to overcome, a "Web-based" forum appears to be an effective instrument to provide support to a cohort group of preservice science teachers during their student teaching semester.
