Abstract:
Learning science recognizes varied definitions of learning, evolving from mere knowledge acquisition to encompass deep understanding, collaborative knowledge sharing, community engagement, and creative thought. In the era of the Internet, it is even more crucial to invest in environmental cooperation to foster knowledge creation. This study investigates Knowledge Building (KB) among a community of student teachers in a teacher training curriculum, which focuses on KB principles. The researcher uses Knowledge Forum (KF) as a collaborative tool to facilitate this study. This study aims to aid the development of student teachers in teaching practice and to explore the process of their discourse and teaching perspectives. This study adopted case study approach with 47 student teachers who took a university course titled “Teaching Principles” over one semester. The findings indicated: (1) Principle based KB activities facilitate student teachers’ discourse progress. (2) Guided by the KB principles, although arguing-oriented discourse remained prevalent in the later stages, the percentage increase in improving-oriented discourse was higher than arguing-oriented discourse. (3) KB activities inform student teachers’ teaching perspectives, but there is still room for improvement. (4) Arguing-oriented discourse can simultaneously predict absolutists-oriented and constructivists-oriented teaching perspectives. (5) Improving-oriented discourse show a significant moderate correlation with constructivist teaching perspectives (CTP). Although it does not predict CTP, case analysis reveals the importance, warranting further continuous exploration. Finally, suggestions are proposed for future improvements in student teachers’ training and research.
