| Zusammenfassung: | Report from the eTutor project which modeled the creative use of online technologies to enhance and support pre-service teachers in developing their intercultural teaching capability, as well as deepen their understanding of the differences and similarities between face-to-face and online teaching and enhance their capabilities in using ICT in their own practices. Chapter 1 outlines the project aims and rationale as well as a description of how the project worked and the methodology used to investigate the efficacy of the project against its aims. Over 450 pre-service teachers and school students from eight schools across four countries, Australia, Malaysia, India and Nepal, interacted with each other online for a 14-week period in 2013. In small groups of students and pre-service teachers, eTutor participants posted a total of 9357 blogs, replies to blogs and posts to walls in the eTutor environment, an average of 20 posts per person. Conversations within eTutor focused heavily on the interests of the students within eTutor and on cultural events and characteristics, particularly celebrations and festivals, food, sport music and everyday life. Students and pre-service teachers also shared videos and images of their lives. Chapter 2 provides details of the ways in which students and pre-service teachers interacted in the eTutor online environment. Chapter 2 also provides a quantitative analysis of the extent of interactions within eTutor. [Executive summary, ed] |
