Abstract

While research in blended, distance, and online learning continues to grow, it is important to continue to think about the field that is telling the story of what we want these types of educational modalities to mean. Trends and patterns could reveal conflicts and tensions in values (Rice & Barbour, 2024). For example, when we say we want personalization, do we still want it, if it means that the children all learn the same things in the end, just at different times and with different examples? When we say we want self-directedness, do we still want it, if it means that students can only work successfully when they work by themselves? When we say we care about small group instruction online in K-12 settings, do we still care about it if it is only to keep students on-task for doing largely autonomous lessons? These issues are present in the articles from this issue.
