Table 2 Supporting quotations from LAs’ reflections to the three constructs of SDT before, during and after the remote learning transition
Construct | Before remote learning experience | During and after remote learning experience |
|---|---|---|
Competence | “I can confidently say that explaining the intuition behind the formula for integration by parts helps tremendously.” (Jake) | “Most of us had the technology available to communicate effectively and were motivated to do so.” (Connor) |
Autonomy | “I plan to focus more on giving ‘small hoorahs’ for completing the harder steps in integrals as a confidence boost and researching on how to aid re-instillation of faith in a student.” (Arturo) | “I definitely think that the level of enthusiasm decreased with the switch to online learning, due to the fact that students were sent home, which is an environment that they usually only go back to for breaks/summers.” (Chloe) |
Relatedness | “Remembering them, and their quirks. Knowing them as people really helps me to know when I need to assist them in math, I feel.” (Ramesh) | “The large disconnect from not seeing everyone again kind of shattered the camaraderie that was present in my row.” (Lucas) |
