Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.7K
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.

Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...

Bullying02:04

Bullying

8.4K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Levels of Communication I: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Small Group

13.1K
Interpersonal communication focuses on the exchange of messages between two people.
We can participate in these relationships through verbal, nonverbal, and mediated communication. We engage in verbal communication when we use words during our interaction to convey specific meanings. On the other hand, nonverbal communication refers to various factors that can impact how we understand each other—for example, facial expressions.
We interact with others using mediated technologies like the...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Social Learning Theory
  • Higher Education Pedagogy

Background:

  • Discussions are crucial for student learning, critical thinking, and knowledge co-creation.
  • The rise of online and hybrid courses necessitates evaluating online discussion effectiveness.
  • Understanding how different discussion modalities impact student achievement is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of asynchronous online discussion boards and traditional face-to-face discussions.
  • To analyze student perceptions of online versus in-person discussion formats.
  • To determine how these modalities contribute to student learning and engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis: Thematic coding and discussion network analysis.
  • Quantitative analysis: Application of Bloom's Taxonomy.
  • Student perceptions: Pre-course and post-course surveys.

Main Results:

  • Online discussions enhanced response complexity.
  • Face-to-face discussions improved connections with course material and featured themes of personal identity and immediacy.
  • Community sense motivated in-person preference; anxiety influenced online preference.

Conclusions:

  • Online and in-person discussions are complementary pedagogical tools.
  • Both formats contribute to complex thinking and social learning in educational settings.
  • Integrating both modalities can optimize student learning experiences.
