Examining the Effect of Small Group Discussions and Question Prompts on Vicarious Learning Outcomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study investigated the effect of group discussions and question prompts on students’ vicarious learning experiences. Vicarious experiences were delivered to 65 preservice teachers via VisionQuest, a Web site that provided examples of successful technology integration. A 2×2 factorial research design employed group discussions and question prompts as independent variables and students’ perceptions of their competencies and self-efficacy for technology integration as dependent variables. While three of the four conditions showed significant increases in perceptions of knowledge and skills, ANOVA results showed no significant differences among treatments. It is speculated that additional conditions may have distracted students from the content/message of the teacher models highlighted on VisionQuest. (

This involves student-student interaction within small groups in a way that each group member’s success is dependent on the group’s success. Self-regulated learning (SRL) style believe on what ‘knowing’ is and how one ‘come...
متن کاملCues Matter: Learning Assistants Influence Introductory Biology Student Interactions during Clicker-Question Discussions
The cues undergraduate biology instructors provide to students before discussions of clicker questions have previously been shown to influence student discussion. We further explored how student discussions were influenced by interactions with learning assistants (LAs, or peer coaches). We recorded and transcribed 140 clicker-question discussions in an introductory molecular biology course and ...
