A Guide to Analyzing Message–Response Sequences and Group Interaction Patterns in Computer‐mediated Communication     

Allan Jeong 《Distance Education》2005,26(3):367-383

This paper proposes a set of methods and a framework for evaluating, modeling, and predicting group interactions in computer‐mediated communication. The method of sequential analysis is described along with specific software tools and techniques to facilitate the analysis of message–response sequences. In addition, the Dialogic Theory and its assumptions are presented to establish a theoretical framework and guide to using sequential analysis in computer‐mediated communication research. Step‐by‐step instructions are presented to illustrate how sequential analysis can be used to measure the way latent variables (e.g., message function, response latency, communication style) and exogenous variables (e.g., gender, discourse rules, context) affect how likely a message is to elicit a response, the types of responses elicited by the message, and whether or not the elicited sequence of responses (e.g., claim → challenge → explain) mirror the processes that support group decision‐making, problem‐solving, and learning.  相似文献   

A Study to Develop and Apply Evaluation Factors for Subject Guides in South Korea     

Younghee Noh  Daekeun Jeong 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2017,43(5):423-433

The purpose of this study is to develop the evaluation factors for the Subject Guide for Korean Modern Literature, which is provided by the National Library of Korea, to enhance the guides as an effective public service. In the study, the following final evaluation factors were identified: four evaluation domains (use, content, format, and collaboration), 23 evaluation components, and 67 evaluation items and questions. The results of the study showed that key evaluation components included the reliability of the website, user communication, accessibility to the subject guides, book search capability, provision of information in a consistent format, and the scope of the subject guides. When the subject-specific bibliography system of the National Library of Korea was examined by applying the developed evaluation factors, it was found that the system satisfied only 37 (55.2%) of 67 evaluation items: 8 (40%) of 20 items on use, 13 (66%) of 20 items on content, 15 (88%) of 17 items on format, and 1 (10%) of 10 items on collaboration. Accordingly, the entire subject-specific bibliography system that is currently in use needs to be reviewed, and changes and improvements need to be made utilizing the derived evaluation factors. In particular, it is imperative to develop a strategy to facilitate collaboration among users and librarians in charge, and a more effective subject guide system.  相似文献   

Employees’ perceptions of interpersonal competence: The case of South Korea     

Changdai Kim  Kyung Wha Min  Sook Kyeong Yune  Hanna Choi  Eun Hye Gong 《Asia Pacific Education Review》2008,9(2):221-232

This study examined employees’ perceptions of interpersonal competence at work through the research methodology known as concept mapping. The purpose of this study was to identify the phenomenally derived components of interpersonal competence in work environments and employees’ underlying cognitive structures of interpersonal competence at work. Multidimensional scaling analysis indicated that the participants conceptualized interpersonal competence in the following two dimensions: (i) work-specific domain versus general domain and (ii) unilateral domain versus bilateral domain. In addition, hierarchical clustering on the MDS coordinates produced six clusters: Caring & Considerate, Sociable & Out-going, Kind & Gentle, Reliable & Leadership skills, and Confident & Responsible. Our results were discussed with respect to future research and educational approaches to the issues surrounding interpersonal competencies at work.  相似文献   

How day of posting affects level of critical discourse in asynchronous discussions and computer-supported collaborative argumentation     

Allan Jeong  Sue Frazier 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2008,39(5):875-887

In asynchronous threaded discussions, messages posted near the end of the week provide less time for students to critically examine and respond to ideas presented in the messages than messages posted early in the week. This study examined how the day in which messages are posted (early, midweek and weekend) in computer-supported collaborative argumentation affect the number of responses elicited by arguments and challenges, and how its effects differ across the four types of exchanges (argument–challenge, challenge–counterchallenge, challenge–explain, challenge–evidence) that serve as indicators of critical discourse. This study found that the day of posting had a significant effect on the number of responses elicited per message, with the greatest to smallest effect on argument–challenge, challenge–counterchallenge, challenge–explain and challenge–evidence exchanges respectively. These findings highlight some of the limitations of asynchronous discussions, and suggest alternative ways to implement and design discussion environments to promote higher levels of critical discourse.  相似文献

A sequential analysis of responses in online debates to postings of students exhibiting high versus low grammar and spelling errors     

Allan Jeong  Haiying Li  Andy Jiaren Pan 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2017,65(5):1175-1194

Given that grammatical and spelling errors have been found to influence perceived competence and credibility in written communication, this study examined how a student’s grammar and spelling errors affect how other students respond to the student’s postings in four online debates hosted in asynchronous threaded discussions. Message-response exchanges were sequentially analyzed to identify patterns in students’ replies to arguments and challenges with counter-challenges, explanations, and evidentiary support posted by students that exhibited low versus high number of grammatical and spelling errors. Although no causal inferences can be drawn from this study, the findings nevertheless suggests that: (a) arguments posted by high-error students are more likely to be challenged than arguments posted by low-error students; (b) exchanges between high-error students can amplify the effects of grammar/spelling errors; and (c) higher levels of argumentation can be achieved by placing students into groups that are heterogeneous in writing skills in general. The findings and methods used in this study lay the groundwork for further research on strategies for managing individual differences in students’ grammar and spelling (and other student behaviors in general) and increasing the level of critical discourse in online discussions.  相似文献   

The Effects of Gender Interaction Patterns on Student Participation in Computer-Supported Collaborative Argumentation   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Allan Jeong  Gayle V. Davidson-Shivers 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2006,54(6):543-568

In this study we examined response patterns in exchanges between males and females and their effects on gender participation in five online debates. Students classified messages into arguments, evidence, critiques, and elaborations while posting messages to the debates to facilitate argumentation and the sequential analysis of message-response sequences. The findings revealed no differences in number of critiques posted in response to arguments because females were just as likely as males to critique messages from both males and females, and because females responded to males with critiques at a higher than expected frequency. Posthoc analysis revealed strong indications that females posted fewer rebuttals to the critiques of females than males, and males posted more rebuttals to the critiques of females than females. The methods used in this study illustrate a process-oriented approach to explain and predict gender differences in participation and serve as a framework for future research on gender participation, group interaction, and strategies for facilitating collaborative argumentation and problem solving.  相似文献   

Evaluating item response theory linking and model fit for data from PISA 2000–2012     

Matthias von Davier  Kentaro Yamamoto  Hyo Jeong Shin  Henry Chen  Lale Khorramdel  Jon Weeks 《Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice》2019,26(4):466-488

ABSTRACT

Based on concerns about the item response theory (IRT) linking approach used in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) until 2012 as well as the desire to include new, more complex, interactive items with the introduction of computer-based assessments, alternative IRT linking methods were implemented in the 2015 PISA round. The new linking method represents a concurrent calibration using all available data, enabling us to find item parameters that maximize fit across all groups and allowing us to investigate measurement invariance across groups. Apart from the Rasch model that historically has been used in PISA operational analyses, we compared our method against more general IRT models that can incorporate item-by-country interactions. The results suggest that our proposed method holds promise not only to provide a strong linkage across countries and cycles but also to serve as a tool for investigating measurement invariance.  相似文献   

Co‐Design Education Based on the Changing Designer's Role and Changing Creativity     

Jeehyun Lee  Jiwon Ahn  Jieun Kim  Jeong‐min Kho 《The International Journal of Art & Design Education》2019,38(2):430-444

The field of fashion design relies on the originality of fashion designers and information on design trends, and design education also focuses on the creative ideas of designers; in this field, design through co‐design is a very limited area. However, with the proliferation of participatory culture, the need to diversify fashion design education methods has also emerged. The purpose of this study is to present an educational framework and an instructional strategy for co‐design based on the changing role of the designer and to obtain educational insight through the implementation of an actual education prototype. To do this, we developed an educational prototype and implemented it with six undergraduate students. Through this study, the participants engaged in the process of design development with the consumer and analysed the instructional insight. As a result, this study redefines the roles and design methods of designers for co‐design and identifies creativity characteristics through the co‐design process. The results of this study can be used as basic data for co‐design education and can contribute to the expansion of fashion design educational methods.  相似文献
