Evaluating Social Interaction and Support Methods Over Time

Author(s):  
Birgitta Maria Kopp

This research focuses on the evaluation of social interaction and support methods for computer-supported collaborative learning over the period of one semester. Specifically, there are three main topics for investigation: first, the subjective evaluation of social interaction and support methods, second, the students' perceptions of these over time, and third, the correlations between social interaction and support methods. Results indicate a specific pattern regarding important aspects of social interaction indicating possible problems in group dynamics (especially relating to taking responsibility). This evaluation pattern remains nearly constant over time. Furthermore, correlation analyses show strong connections between the design of group work and group dynamics, indicating a positive influence of support methods on problematic dimensions of social interaction. As this relation is strongest during the middle phase of collaboration, this study gives a first indication that also CSCL groups may go through the storming and norming stage of collaboration. These findings substantiate the necessity of providing support for computer-based learning.

This article discusses the influence of teacher ability using computer-based media to the attention of learners on learning PAI in SMPN 2 Pinrang Regency. This toward study aims to determine the ability of teachers using computer-based media, the attention of learners on learning PAI in SMPN 2 Pinrang regency, and the effect of teacher ability using computer-based media to the attention of learners on learning PAI in SMPN 2 Pinrang regency. This type of research is quantitative research, as it find the objective, valid, and reliable data using numerical data, preferably observation, questionnaires, documentation. Data obtained through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the ability of teachers using computer-based learning media significantly influence the attention of learners on learning PAI SMPN 2 Pinrang District. Known from the results of hypothesis testing was proposed alternative hypothesis can be accepted. Based on the calculation, r calculated = 1,000 > r table = 0,169 at 5% significant level so it is concluded that ho is rejected and ha is accepted. Means there is a significant positive influence between variables x and y variables. T test results show t arithmetic greater than t table, 6.029>1.985, meaning Ho rejected or Ha accepted. the calculation results obtained by determination coefficient of 0.27,7 means the correlation value of 27.7 percent of independent variables can explain the deviation and dependent variables.Some of the implications in this study as a form of learning process development is the school is expected to facilitate the process of computer-based learning. Availability of infrastructure facilities will maximize the motivation, interest and attention of learners so that achievement and learning outcomes can be maximized.

The background of this research is the use of unvaried learning resources causes tired and bored students in following the lecture. Boredom experienced make the students difficult to think creatively, so that they only work based on the example problems and discussion of the lecturer given. To solve the problems, one of the media that can be used is a computer-based learning media. This research aims to see the effectiveness of student learning media towards the attitudes of students in the subject of Space Geometry. Type of research is a developmental research. This research developed a  computer-based learning media on the subject of space geometry. Model of development used on this research is a model of instructional Development Institute (IDI). IDI applies the principles of systems approach. There are three stages of a systems approach, namely the discovery (define) or a needs analysis, development (develop), and evaluation (Evaluate). The instrument used in this research was a questionnaire of attitude. Computer-based instructional media on the lecture of Space Geometry has a positive attitude towards students. It is found from the results of the questionnaire that student attitudes toward computer-based learning media are  interested and very interested in computer-based learning media. This is pictured out by the results of percentage ranging between 66% - 89%. Based on the previous explanation, it can be concluded that the use of computer-based learning media has a positive influence, so that it can be used as a medium of learning in the subject of Space Geometry.

Zusammenfassung. Der vorliegende Beitrag entwickelt auf der Basis von pädagogischen Überlegungen und lernpsychologischen Forschungsergebnissen zur computerunterstützten Wissensvermittlung eine Konzeptualisierung von E-Learning-Systemen und deren von konsequentem Qualitätsmanagement begleitete Umsetzung. Die vorgestellte theoriegeleitete Vorgehensweise wird anhand der Entwicklung und Realisierung des internetgestützten Lernsystems “CLIC Computer-based Learning: Introduction to Communications“ veranschaulicht, das an der Universität Erfurt erarbeitet wird. Der Aufsatz befasst sich sowohl mit der Koordination auf der Ebene der Produktion (Didaktik, Inhalt, Technik) als auch auf der Ebene der Rezeption (Lern- und Kommunikationsformen, Lernorganisation). Die explorativ angelegte Evaluation des ersten Einsatzes von CLIC belegt ein weitgehend gelungenes Konzept und Qualitätsmanagement. Vorgestellt werden ausgewählte Evaluationsergebnisse zur Koordination und Organisation der Wissensvermittlung sowie des sozialen Kontaktes zwischen Studierenden und Dozierenden. Anhand von drei in der Evaluation empirisch ermittelten E-Learning-Typen werden Probleme und Potenziale beim E-Learning aufgezeigt und Schlussfolgerungen für die koordinierende Gestaltung von E-Learning-Systemen gezogen.
