Surveys02:16

Surveys

17.2K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

270
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.6K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

274
Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

Summary

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may worsen educational inequality. Data shows affluent students are more likely to access and complete MOOCs, particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Sociology
  • Digital Learning

Background:

  • Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are frequently promoted as tools to democratize education and reduce socioeconomic disparities.
  • However, the actual impact of MOOCs on educational equity remains a subject of critical examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether MOOCs effectively bridge educational gaps related to socioeconomic status.
  • To analyze access and completion rates among different socioeconomic groups in MOOCs.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from 68 MOOCs offered by Harvard and MIT between 2012 and 2014.
  • Comparison of participant demographics and completion data against U.S. census data for neighborhood affluence and education levels.

Main Results:

  • MOOC participants in the U.S. resided in more affluent and educated neighborhoods compared to the average resident.
  • Students with higher socioeconomic resources demonstrated greater likelihood of course completion and certificate attainment.
  • Disparities in MOOC access and completion were more pronounced among adolescents and young adults, particularly in STEM fields.

Conclusions:

  • MOOCs may not be an effective remedy for educational disparities.
  • Current online learning models, including MOOCs, risk widening the gap in educational outcomes based on socioeconomic status.
  • Further research is needed to ensure online learning promotes equitable access and success.
