The purpose of the study is
to explore how Swedish lower secondary school teachers manage blended learning
environments, established through using a specific learning management system
(LMS) application. In the study, four teachers were followed during a
four-month (n)ethnographic fieldwork. Based on analyses of data from
video-recordings and observations in physical and virtual classrooms, the study
examines teachers’ practices of integrating and segmenting the two classroom
domains. In order to unpack the realms of these practices, the study employs
affordance and boundary theories. Through the analysis of participants’
boundary practices and their use of communicative affordances in and across
space and time, four teacher roles, enacted and emerging through teaching
practices, are presented. The paper concludes with a discussion of how
participants’ engagement with virtual and physical learning environment compels
teachers to reflect upon their preferred teacher role in the new
multidimensional classrooms.
