Abstract
In Thailand, many pre-service teachers are still shy and afraid to ask questions in the classroom. To enhance preservice
teachers’ ability, pre-service teachers need to show their potential and should be encouraged to participate in the class.
This paper aims to study the pre-service teachers’ interaction and participation in the online mode in terms of blended learning
using creative problem solving technique. The sample group of this study was 28 pre-service teachers. The first group was
treated anonymously when they were online while the second group was treated non-anonymously.
The findings found that the group that was treated anonymously had the mean ( ) of online interactions increasing
from 196.33 counts to 218.66, 313, and 331.33 for the subsequence weeks. For Non-anonymous group, the mean ( ) of online
interactions was decreased from 333.50 counts to 292, 205, and 232.50 for the subsequence weeks.
Further in-depth interview showed that pre-service teachers in the anonymous group were happier to participate in the
discussion. They enjoyed interacting with others online. Therefore, the different settings and the environment of online class
could provide the different trend of interactions for different types of identity presented in the online group.
