Abstract
The Community of Inquiry (CoI) (Garrison, 2011) framework considers a student’s educational experience as a combination of social, cognitive, and teacher interactions. Working with a large data set (n = 1,926) collected over three years (2011-2014) in 13 undergraduate, blended classrooms at a prominent Canadian university, this study examined how student perceptions of these interactions (with peers, course content, and instructors) related to grades. Using data modelling techniques, results showed a significant, and direct (path coefficient of 0.16, p<0.001) relationship between presence and grade, with results on the presence interrelationship [teacher → social (0.23, p < 0.001), and social → cognitive (0.45, p < 0.001)] highlighting the role of teacher presence in promoting achievement. Results suggest that looking at pedagogy through a lens of presence could positively impact the student experience.
