The Value of Instructor Interactivity in the Online Classroom

As the number of faculty teaching online continues to grow, so has the interest in and understanding of the role of instructor interaction in the online classroom. Online education provides a unique platform in which course design and teaching are independent factors. Understanding faculty and student perceptions about the shifting role of instructor interaction in the online classroom can provide insight on policies and procedures that can support student learning through student-instructor interaction. Participants included faculty and students responding to an anonymous online survey who indicated “online” as their primary mode of teaching. Three key “value” themes emerged as significantly valuable: instructor interactivity, instructor feedback on participation, and asynchronous interaction in discussion forums. These findings illuminate opportunities and areas of consideration for three stakeholders in the student-teacher interaction equation: faculty, faculty developers, and administrators that can be used to inform quality online teaching through instructor interactivity

The Lived Experiences of Women in the Male-Dominated Field of Motorsports: A Descriptive Phenomenological Study

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive phenomenological study was to understand how women described their lived experiences entering and working in the male-dominated field of motorsports within the United States. Using purposive and snowball sampling, 11 women participated in the study who met the criteria of being at least 18-years of age, currently working in motorsports, and living in the United States. The theoretical foundations that guided this study included social role theory and social cognitive career theory. This study explored two research questions: How do women describe their lived experiences working in the male-dominated field of motorsports? And how do lived experiences of women impact their decision to pursue a career in the male-dominated field of motorsports? Data collection occurred using a series of three separate interviews per participant. Eidetic analysis resulted in nine themes and one sub-theme. Significant themes included required characteristics, introduction to motorsports, gender stereotypes, and passion for motorsports. Results indicate women need required characteristics in order to work in motorsports. Additionally, participants who viewed their experiences in motorsports as positive were also those passionate about motorsports. Recommendations for future research include mentorship opportunities for women in motorsports and an investigation of the lived experiences of women professional racecar drivers
