The modelWe propose a two-stage teachers’ training model in blended-learning based on the combination of: (i) promoting reflection-action-reflection

(Schön, 1992) – during the training course;

(ii) the five-stage Salmon’s model (2011) and Garrison and Vaughan’s (2008) Community of Inquiry framework – in the online sessions.

Background

Our aim is to investigate the integration of LMS in secondary school education: from training model to working practices. The main questions are:

How did the trainees evaluate the training model?

What was the impact of the training model in their practices?
