Online Preparation Of Adult Learners In Post-Secondary Education: A Triangulated Study

Abstract

In this study, data from pre-service school administrators, faculty, and online documents were used to: 1) analyze how pre-service school administrators perceive the online preparation process, 2) analyze how faculty perceive the online preparation of school administrators, and 3) determine the extent to which quality administrators are prepared through the online process. The result of the study yielded strong evidence that the online process is a strong pedagogical tool for preparing quality school administrators for P-12 schools in this era of educational quality and accountability. Perceptions of the participants in this study toward the online process were extremely positive.
