Collaborative Team Teaching Approach in a Technology Course PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE AND DISSEMINATE THIS MATERIAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY

This paper describes the collaborative team teaching experience in an educational technology course taught by Cleveland State University (Ohio) faculty. In this study, a collaborative team used a reflective approach from constructivist perspectives and involved students as well as two instructors in planning, conducting, and evaluating processes. The goals of team teaching were to provide each student with opportunities to choose from different instructional styles and formats, to enrich the learning experience by sharing and collaborating, and to facilitate a supportive and constructive environment through in-depth interaction with each student. The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of this collaborative team teaching approach. Surveys, individual/small group interviews, observations, class notes, course evaluations, and student feedback were used to find the students ' satisfaction level, the effects of learning, and the significant factors in the team teaching approach.
