How They All Mix Together




Arbaugh, J. B., Bangert, A., & Cleveland-Innes, M. (2010). Subject matter effects and the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework: An exploratory study. Internet & Higher Education, 13(1/2), 37-44. doi:10.1016/j.iheduc.2009.10.006

           The authors look at possible relationships between the community of inquiry framework and the subject matter being taught.  It is their opinion that past researchers have acted as though the subject being taught has no effect on the success or failure of the teaching method.  Their study includes a  34 item survey given to 1173 students from two US institutions.  Their results show that the CoI framework may be more aptly applied to applied disciplines that pure disciplines.  This means the areas of education, health care and business may use the CoI framework better than other subjects.

          This study looked at the relationship between using teaching and social presence in order to predict cognitive presence.  It also examined the CoI framework in order to test its validity when explaining the interaction in online learning.

           The relationships between the three presences are explored and tested.  The development of a survey instrument is used to test the cognitive and teaching presence and their influences on the cognitive presence.  The importance of the teaching presence in facilitating the community is included in the results.

           This brief article gives the basics of how online learning has evolved from lessons that push information to the student to lessons that allow students to pull what they want in an upbeat, easy to understand writing.
