RJA #5c: Periodical Articles


Periodical Search
I started my periodical search on highwire.com with the search words online education vs. traditional. It came back with 6,761 results of which this is the first one. There were 2 of the first 10 that were relevant.

This is the second.

This is the third one that looks really close to what I’m looking for including the social perspective of online homeschooling.
Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society
Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society (BSTS), peer-reviewed and published bi-monthly, provides a means of communication within as wide of a spectrum of the STS community as possible, including faculty and students from sciences, engineering, the humanities, and social science. Its scope is that which is of value in STS pedagogy at either the university or K-12 level.
The goal of the Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society is to provide a means of communication within as wide of a spectrum of the STS community as possible. This includes faculty and students from sciences, engineering, the humanities, and social science in the newly emerging groups on university and college campuses, and in the high school systems, all of which teach integrative STS subject matters. It also includes professionals in government, industry and universities, ranging from philosophers and historians of science to social scientists concerned with the effects of science and technology, scientists and engineers involved with the study and policy-making of their own craft, and the concerned general leader. A third category of readers represents "society": all journalists dealing with the impacts of science and technology in their respected fields, the public interest groups and the attentive public.
After this, I switched databases to look for free articles that are as closely related to my subject as these. I used Google Scholar with the term “online education vs. traditional education and found only 2 including a very recent article.
This is in the Journal of American Science, it’s an article on the new challenges facing online students and the shift away from traditional classrooms, written in 2011 by Gharibpana and Zamani at Islamic Azad University in Iran. Surprisingly, it’s very well written and really right on my subject matter, it’s titled; It just goes to show how small the internet has made the world.
Accessing characteristics of online education and comparing of traditional education.
   I changed my search term to online education and changed the date to 200 or newer. It came back with 531,00 searches so I looked over the first page of results and changed the term again to narrow it down. I put in online education+traditional and got 657,000 results, that didn’t quite work like I thought but I found an interesting paper written in 2010 in California that looks at the performances and background of MBA Business students in both an online and traditional environment.
