The Digital Literacies of Early Childhood Educators: Perceptions of Collaborative Online Learning
Hoffman, Emily Brown; Mangino, Anthony Angelo
Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, v44 n3 p386-407 2023
This explanatory mixed methods study investigated the role digital literacies play in the collaborative online learning of early childhood educators (ECEs). Through reporting quantitative survey and qualitative interview data, study results describe the attitudes and skills that contribute to ECEs' abilities to fluently use different modes of technology to participate in collaborative online learning. Both ECEs' and Instructors' (higher education professionals facilitating ECE online learning courses) perceptions contribute to results on what supports and components are imperative for initial and sustained success regarding ECEs traversing and engaging with current technologies. Based on integration of databases and analysis of study results, recommendations are offered on how online learning can be used to develop the digital literacies of ECE online students.
