Evaluation of the efficacy of collaborative learning in face-to-face and computer-supported university contexts

Effets des motifs d’entrée, des croyances d’efficacité personnelle et de l’engagement en formation sur le maintien, l’échec et la réussite des étudiants en situation de e-learning

“…En outre, ce SEP spécifique influence favorablement la qualité perçue des apprentissages, et ce quelles que soient les modalités de formation considérées. Francescato et al (2006) constatent, quant à eux, que l'accroissement de l'auto-efficacité académique, dans la résolution de problèmes ou encore vis-à-vis des situations d'interactions sociales, est associé à l'augmentation de l'acquisition de connaissances et à une meilleure performance, que les étudiants suivent des cours en ligne ou en face-à-face. Aussi, bien que les études relatées abordent des SEP référant à des activités variées (domaines académiques, de la formation, de l'apprentissage, des usages des TIC), elles révèlent, de façon récurrente, que les croyances d'efficacité personnelle interviennent de manière favorable dans le parcours de formation des apprenants, quels que soient les modalités d'enseignement ou les publics ciblés.…”

Undergraduate Kinesiology Students’ Experiences in Online Motor Development Course

“…However, in this study, students perceived that successful online bulletin board discussion did not seem to be easy because some students provided critical, judgmental, and controversial comments that caused misunderstandings, conflicts, competition, and hurt feelings during text communication (Jahng, Nielsen, & Chan, 2010). When students failed to negotiate meaning, they gave up on more sophisticated debates, the result of which may be that discussions remained at superficial levels and created poor quality of learning experiences (Francescato et al, 2006: Na Ubon & Kimble, 2004. TTD (Moore, 1984) explains that students in online learning environments should be provided an opportunity to decide on interactive learning strategies that best suit them.…”

Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks

“…Relevant to this new approach to SoC, in which the contexts are evolving from a physical reality into a virtual scenario, all research is aimed at identifying a definition of the Sense of Virtual Community [13][14][15]. The Sense of Virtual Communities has been found to be overlapping in the SoC in many features: for example participants in some studies by Francescato (2006; have shown similar levels in collaborative learning, developed self-efficacy, developed problem solving and perception of social capital when comparing face to face and online groups [15,16].…”
