Abstract
The word ‘learn’ is embedded in ‘learners’ to indicate that learners are those learning. What about ‘teachers’? Are they the ones teaching? Yes, definitely. Though the word ‘learn’ is not embedded in ‘teachers’, teachers also learn. They learn to grow professionally to continue with the development of approaches and methods in teaching − entailing lifelong learning for teachers. The research aimed to assist teachers learn professionally by developing their Cognitive Presence to introduce STEM-oriented instruction. Funded by the Indonesian government in 2021, the first year of a two year-project involved teachers of young learners from eight provinces. As Cognitive Presence enables teachers to construct and confirm meaning through sustained reflection and discourse, this book chapter sheds light on how this cohort of teachers of young learners developed their Cognitive Presence as a part of their professional growth. The study findings suggest that the research partially supported professional development for educators of young learners by enhancing their Cognitive Presence, as evidenced by the identified elements: Triggering, Exploration, Integration, and Resolution. Integration was the most frequently observed element in their pedagogical discussions, indicating significant engagement as teachers addressed questions or requests related to ongoing topics. As this prevalence likely stems from the reflective guiding questions presented in the forum discussions, Teaching Presence should inevitably ensure the presence of constructive guiding questions for reflections to appear in Cognitive Presence.
