This book was released on 2019 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined social media in graduate coursework and provides insight into how faculty and higher education administrators can strategically incorporate social media into graduate school coursework. Moreover, this study bridges an existing literature gap regarding graduate students' perceptions of social media use and its impact on their learning. Several research studies have linked the use of social media with improved academic performance; however, the role of social media as a pedagogical tool to support learning through academic engagement and collaboration in graduate education coursework needs further exploration. Millennials and post-millennials (ages 18-42) quickly embrace and adopt new technology, and most are either in graduate school or will be in the future. Higher education can use such tools, including social media, to connect more academically with their students, who are frequently on these platforms. Conducted over a one-month period, this cross-sectional study empirically examined the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences that graduate students hold about the pedagogical use of social media to support learning, academic engagement, and academic performance. An online quantitative survey collected data on 1,212 students enrolled in graduate courses in one university's School of Education. The survey results confirmed that social media was a useful pedagogical tool in graduate coursework to support academic performance and collaboration among students. While results partially supported that using social media in graduate coursework improved collaboration among students, it did not fully support improved collaboration between students and their professors. This study included a single discipline at a single institution; future research would benefit from a more robust study that included multiple disciplines or multiple institutions. Keywords: graduate education coursework; social media; pedagogical tool; academic performance; learning

This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the creation and adoption of new technologies has increased in recent years, the educational sector often limits technology use. Despite this, many researchers are convinced of the vital role that technologies can play in learning and teaching. Student Reactions to Learning with Technologies: Perceptions and Outcomes brings together recent research findings about the views and expectations of students when including technologies in their studies. The chapters in this book suggest that the use of technologies in teaching not only makes learning more interesting but also offers possibilities for variations in the learning processes. While this book does not offer irrevocable opinions and definitive views or insights, it provides a useful lens for viewing the world of students and providing insights into the possibilities for accessing and conducting similar research.

Download or read book Faculty Choice and Student Perception of Web-based Technologies for Interaction in Online Economics Courses written by Olivia Morris and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigated faculty choice of web-based technologies for interaction in online economics courses and students' perception of those technologies. The literature review of online interaction has established the importance of learner--learner, learner--instructor and learner--content interaction in distance learning. However, some studies confirmed that students' need for interaction varies and subsequently suggested that an ideal balance of interaction might exist. Results from the two online surveys sent to faculty and student at 2- and 4-year colleges show strong agreement with the theoretical position of Moore, Drouin, Rhode, and Gardner, but revealed some disagreement with some aspects of Anderson's Equivalency Theory. The findings also indicate that both faculty and students reported learner--learner interaction as the least important of the three interactions, and use of the discussion board forum, though effective, should not be increased but tailored to the subject area and needs of the class. A majority of students had full-time jobs and recommended an increased in the use of online multimedia such as movie clips, podcasts, video lectures, and tutorials that could be accessed through mobile/portable technologies such as their iPhones, Kindles, Netbooks, and laptops. Faculty and students perceived interactive homework tools, such as Aplia, to be most suitable for the graphical and numerical aspects of economics, but cautioned about the manner in which they are used. This study concludes that faculty should, in some cases, share with students the rationale for using web-based technologies to promote interaction in online economics classes. Also, interaction should not be predetermined, because the participants of this study ranked the discussion board that promoted learner--learner interaction as least important to their learning. As such, faculty choice of web-based technologies should depend on the needs and interest of the class. Likewise, results show that the participants of this study preferred the technology used for learner-content interaction more than the technology used for learner-instructor interaction. As a result, this study also concludes that any diverse strategies used to arrive at an 'ideal mix' of interaction, must also include students' perception of faculty choice of technologies used to promote the three major forms of interaction. In other words, to arrive at an "ideal mix of interaction" an "ideal mix of technology" is equally necessary. Further research should replicate the survey design in other subject areas to see if a change of subject matter would cause a change of preferences of technologies.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational institutions of all levels invest large amounts of time and resources into instructional technology, with the goal of enhancing the educational effectiveness of the learning environment. The decisions made by instructors and institutions regarding the implementation of technology are guided by perceptions of usefulness held by those who are in control. The primary objective of this mixed methods study was to examine the student and faculty perceptions of technology being used in general education courses at a community college. This study builds upon and challenges the assertions of writers such as Prensky (2001a, 2001b) and Tapscott (1998) who claim that a vast difference in technology perception exists between generational groups, resulting in a diminished usefulness of technology in instruction. In this study, data were gathered through student surveys and interviews, and through faculty surveys and interviews. Analysis of the data used Kendall's Tau test for correlation between various student and faculty variables in various groupings, and also typological analysis of the transcribed interview data. The analysis of the quantitative data revealed no relationship between age and perception of technology's usefulness. A positive relationship was found to exist between the perception of the frequency of technology use and the perception of technology's effectiveness, suggesting that both faculty members and students believed that the more technology is used, the more useful it is in instruction. The analysis of the qualitative data revealed that both faculty and students perceive technology to be useful, and that the most significant barriers to technology's usefulness include faulty hardware and software systems, lack of user support, and lack of training for faculty. The results of the study suggest that the differences in perception of technology between generations that are proposed by Prensky may not exist when comparing adults from the younger generation with adults from the older generation. Further, the study suggests that institutions continue to invest in instructional technology, with a focus on high levels of support and training for faculty, and more universal availability of specific technologies, including web access, in class video, and presentation software.
