Technology development has been bringing new benefits and trends to educational circle. One of the important issues is facilitating teacher's professional development via the web-based community. This study applies knowledge domains and dominant orientation analyses of Communicative Model of Collaborative Learning (CMCL), proposed by Cecez-Kecmanovic and Webb (2000), to analyze the Hualien County teacher web-based community team's communicative acts when proceeding an instructional design task, so as to exam how the web-based teacher community works and its development attribute. The main findings of this study include that 1) the categories under the cross-table of dominant orientation and knowledge domains show that applying the learning task to guide the professional development is a prominent feature in the process of the teacher web-based community activity. 2) The discussions of the participants, the teachers, are mainly led by the activity attribute. Also, the interpretation of and the achievement of the activity rules are a key point for the teachers, and they show a certain degree of considerations on the accomplishment of the task. 3) According to the interactive analysis of knowledge domains and dominant orientation, the type of learning-oriented subject matter discussions, achieving ends-oriented norms and rules discussion and self-representation and promotion-oriented personal experiences, desires and feelings discussions show higher percentage than the other types within the nine categories. That is, the rate of communicative time distribution is mainly based upon the upper left-lower right oblique axis of the cross-table of CMCL, suggesting that there exists high coherence between the knowledge domains and the domain orientation. 4) The main application of CMCL model is to exam the
meaning of the communication frequency distribution in depth through the two-dimensional analysis. Also, CMCL extends the application of action research after being especially applied to the different task-stages in web-based teacher professional learning. The implication of this study is that the web-based teacher professional learning activities should refine the design of the learning task itself, not only to guide the teachers to proceed meaningful communication and learning with efficiency, but also to promote better qualities and outcomes of their professional learning. |
