摘要
Online teacher education is experiencing significant growth worldwide. One of the major challenges accompanying this growth is that many teacher educators find themselves underprepared and under pressure to design online teacher education courses that reflect their beliefs about what constitutes high-quality teacher preparation practice. Further, teacher educators in disciplines such as special education face additional challenges in developing understandings about the legalities of writing and implementing disability service plans and performing additional testing. In this self-study of online special education teacher education practice, two collaborators worked to identify strategies and practices for professional community building in a class about teaching reading to students with disabilities. The findings highlight issues of teacher educator authority and presence online against other needs to model collegiality and promote scholarly thinking. Researchers in online teaching may find insight into both the cognitive and contextual concerns as they work to enhance online teacher education while they plan their own investigations. La formacion docente en linea esta experimentando un crecimiento significativo alrededor del mundo. Uno de los mayores desafios de este crecimiento es que muchos formadores de profesores se encuentran poco preparados ybajo presion para disenar cursos de pedagogia por internet que reflejen sus creencias acerca de lo que constituye una practica de formacion docente de calidad. En particular, los formadores de profesores de disciplinas como la educacion especial enfrentan desafios adicionales al momento de desarrollar comprensiones acerca de las legalidades de la escritura, la implementacion de planes de servicio para discapacidades yel uso de evaluacion adicional. En este self-study de la practica de formacion pedagogica en educacion especial en linea, dos colaboradores trabajaron para identificar estrategias ypracticas para la construccion de una comunidad profesional en un curso sobre la ensenanza de la lectura para estudiantes con discapacidades. Los hallazgos destacan problematicas de autoridad docente ypresencia en linea, en contraste con otras necesidades de modelamiento de colaboracion ydesarrollo de pensamiento academico. Los investigadores que se interesan en la ensenanza en linea podrian encontrar ideas respecto alas preocupaciones tanto cognitivas como contextuales al trabajar en el mejoramiento de la formacion docente en linea yrespecto aideas para planificar sus propias investigaciones.
