Description

We developed a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in Kinematics for secondary school students. We present findings from a study that examined its implementation in classrooms taught by in-field (i.e., teachers with strong academic background in physics) and out-of-field teachers (i.e., teachers with limited background in physics and its teaching). Data include semi-structured interviews with 11 teachers (7 out-of-field, OoF, and 4 in-field teachers, IF) and data mining of their students’ (N=391) work in the course.
