Effect of e-Learning Using Collaborative Learning via Social Media on CompetencyOf Using Information and Communication Technology of Undergraduate Educational Students
The Purposes
1. To compare learning achievement of students who learned with e-Learning using collaborative learning via social media on the course of Introduction to Educational Media between pretest and posttest.
2. To study competency of using information and communication technology of students who learned with e-Learning using collaborative learning via social media.
3. To study the opinions of students towards e-Learning using collaborative learning via social media.
Research Methodology
Population : 32,139 second-year undergraduate students in Faculty of Education around Thailand, in the second semester of academic year 2011. (Office of the Higher Education Commission, Data on February 17, 2011)
Sample : 180 second-year undergraduate students in Bachelor of Education Program in Thai, English, Social studies, Teaching Chinese as a foreign language Faculty of Education, Silpakorn University, who registered in Introduction to Educational Media course in the second semester of academic year 2011 by purposive sampling.
This experimental research employed one group pretest posttest design
Variables
Independent Variable : e-Learning using collaborative learning via social media.
Dependent Variables :1. Learning achievement of students.2. Competency of using information and communication
technology of students. 3. Opinions of students towards e-Learning using
collaborative learning via social media.
Research Instruments
1. 8 lesson plans on e-Learning using collaborative learning via social media.
2. Learning Management System using collaborative learning via social media.
3. Competency of using information and communication technology test.
4. Behavior observation form of using information and communication technology.
5. The learning achievement test.6. Instructional media product evaluation form.7. Wiki contributions evaluation form.8. Questionnaire on students’ opinions towards e-Learning
using collaborative learning via social media.
Research ProcedureCollaborative learning with group investigation technique 6 steps was
conducted throughout 5 weeks (2 times per week) of experiment.
1st week : Orientation
Step 1: Identifying the topic
Step 2: Considering the topic
Step 3: Planning the investigation in group
Step 4: Carrying out the investigation
Step 5: Present the result of investigation
Step 6: Evaluation achievement
180 students => 30 Groups - each group build Wikispaces.- complete the test before learning.
“Educational Technology and Innovation” on LMS
- task 1: using Wiki.- observe behavior after task 1.
“Educational Media, and Instructional Design” on LMS
- task 2: using Mind42 and Wiki.- observe behavior after task 2.
“The ASSURE Model” on LMS- task 3 : using Wiki- observe behavior after task 3.
Each group was assigned to - produce instructional media. - inform progress on LMS
Instructional media products were presented
- through video clip – Youtube. - embed its code on wiki.
Students were asked to - complete the test after learning.- answer opinions questionnaire.
