Analyzing Learner Behaviors, Conflicting and Facilitating Factors of Online Collaborative Learning using Activity System

چکیده
This research examined learner behaviors, conflicting factors, and facilitating factors while students engaged in collaborative work via asynchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC). A total of 995 postings from 4 groups (19 students) in the spring semester (Study 1) and 6 groups (24 students) in the fall semester (Study 2) were analyzed. A coding scheme was generated based on constant comparison using NVivo 2. All the codes were reorganized via activity system and compared between high and low performing groups to see the difference in the patterns of learner behaviors. This study provides implications for online collaborative learning environment design and addresses challenges in using activity system to analyze learner behaviors.

Analyzing Learners’ Collaborative Behaviors Using Activity Theory
The primary goal of the study is to analyze learner behaviors during collaborative group work in a digital learning community. A qualitative data analysis program, NVivo 2, was used to code the vast amount of online transcripts and written interviews based on the grounded theory. Resulting codes were aligned in the four subsystems of activity theory and the activation of subsystems by group wor...
متن کاملFacilitating Internalization in E-Learning Through New Information System
This paper aims to study Vygotsky’s (1987) sociocultural theory of learning with respect to how it relates to technology-based second language learning and teaching. The researchers selected their participants from advanced students from Payame Noor University. We divided the participants into two groups- an experimental group and a control group. After teaching the course an experimental group...

متن کاملDisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
