Journal Title: International Journal of Educational Science and Research (IJESR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
MOOCs are a relatively new trend in the Teaching Learning scenario which propagates and contributes in a major way to continuous Lifelong Learning. There are a number of courses being offered online but our students are not enrolling for the same. This study attempts to explore the reasons why students are not enrolling for these MOOCs. A selfdesigned, pretested Questionnaire was used to collect information about the B. Ed. student teachers Awareness to MOOCs which was divided into 3 parts- use of computers, use of Internet and awareness to MOOCs. A comparison was made among these three and it was found that student teachers were using You tube videos, online messaging tools such as email, blogging and Whatsapp groups, to learn things and clarify concepts. Use of Internet and online discussion tool for educational purpose was found to be very good among the student teachers. But, the study shows that the awareness of MOOCs is very low among the student teachers. The perceptions to MOOCs wee mostly negative. However, if guided properly, they may start using MOOCs.
