This paper reports data obtained on practicing teachers' thinking as they interacted with a professional development interactive
multimedia (IMM) courseware package. The data were obtained from 11 participating teachers via stimulated-recall interviews.
Two types of thinking are detailed and discussed. The first type is those mediating processes engaged in by teachers during
study sessions that related to the academic and professional content of the IMM package. The second type is those evaluative
thoughts reported by teachers that related to instructional design aspects of the IMM courseware. The latter data were used
to develop a classification system that provides a conceptualization of the major components, as perceived by the participating
teachers, that relate to instructional design.
He has been involved in teaching mathematics education courses at a distance via printed text to inservice teachers and through
interactive multimedia (IMM) courseware to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teacher education students in their home
communities. His current research interests focus on tertiary students' thinking while studying from IMM materials and their
usage patterns of IMM courseware. He also supervises post graduate students in the area of teaching problem solving in upper
primary and lower secondary school.
Her fields of teaching and research interests concern the cultural contextualization of instructional design of interactive
multimedia (IMM) and the World Wide Web (WWW). Other research interests focus on the mental models, thinking processes, and
teaching-learning strategies used by teachers and learners when interacting with electronic databases, IMM, and the WWW.
His areas of expertise are special education and distance education. His current research interests with respect to interactive
multimedia (IMM) focus on tertiary students' thinking while studying with IMM materials and their usage patterns of IMM courseware.
He is also involved in a number of school curriculum and systemic evaluations.
