Abstract

Previous research on improving online discussion participation rates and critical thinking skills has mainly focused on question types or the instructor’s role as facilitator. Studies have shown video to be a motivator, raising student engagement in a course. This study investigates the effects of question modalities (text, video, or dual) on response rates and critical thinking skills in online discussions with pre-service teachers. Differences between text only, video only, and dual modality conditions will be analyzed by the dependent variables of word count, degree of answer completion, and level of higher-order thinking.
