Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

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...

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Background:

The Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) necessitated a rapid shift from traditional face-to-face lectures to virtual learning environments.
Video conferencing software became a primary tool for delivering synchronous educational content.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the facilitating conditions for using interactive video conferencing software in tertiary education.
To assess students' perceptions and acceptance of these virtual learning resources.

Main Methods:

A structured questionnaire was administered to 777 tertiary education students.
Validated academic measures were used to evaluate the acceptance of interactive educational technologies.
A partial least squares (PLS) approach was employed for data analysis.

Main Results:

Significant factors were identified that predict students' willingness to use synchronous online learning programs.
The study found that appropriate facilitating conditions are crucial for improving student perceptions and attitudes toward video conferencing software.
Students demonstrated a positive adaptation to virtual learning environments and a willingness to engage.

Conclusions:

COVID-19 has accelerated the digital transformation in education, highlighting the effectiveness of virtual learning.
Ensuring adequate facilitating conditions is key to enhancing student adoption and satisfaction with online educational technologies.
Students have successfully adapted to the "new normal" of virtual education and are receptive to interactive online learning.
