Lärares attityder till e-föreläsningar : En intervjustudie av lärares attityder till e-föreläsningar

E-lectures (recorded lectures) is a modern way of giving lectures to students while freeing time for teachers to do other activities like having workshops where students get to work actively on solving problems. There is a large body of studies that show the positive effects of e-lectures on students' performance, activating them in teacher led work in the classroom as well as enabling them to re-watch a lecture. However, even though the technology and knowledge on how to use e-lectures seems to be available, the use of e-lectures has not been broadly adopted. There may be many reasons for why this is the case and this qualitative study aims to give insight into the teachers attitude towards e-lectures. This study is based on eight interviews with teachers mainly from the department of informatics and one from the department of physics. The result shows that the teachers have an open attitude towards e-lectures and other alternative learning methods. However, the opinion on how much e-lectures can contribute to students' learning varies and might be due to the lack of knowledge or experience. There is also no consensus regarding how well made the e-lectures should be and some respondents feel that high expectations might refrain teachers from pursuing e-lectures.
