Exploring the relationships between interaction measures and learning outcomes through social network analysis: the mediating role of social presence

Abstract: This research aimed to explore (1) the characteristics and patterns of student interactions on online discussion boards throughout a course using social network analysis (SNA) and (2) the mediating effect of social presence, as the underlying mechanism, on the relationship between these interactions and students' learning outcomes. Eighty-four college students from four classes of a single course responded to an online survey asking about their perceptions of social presence, perceived learning achievement, an… Show more

“…Social presence of teachers and peers may reduce feelings of social isolation and loneliness (Hung-Yuan et al, 2017;Phirangee and Malec, 2017). However, social presence also renders concrete benefits for group learning; for example, comparing notes and correcting misunderstandings as well as it helps building trust and communities of learners (Hostetter, 2013;Richardson et al, 2017;Poth, 2018;Lim, 2023). It is therefore that social presence has gained an increasing interest by teachers and researchers involved in designing online, hybrid, and blended learning environments, particularly group learning settings known as computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL).…”

“…Social presence posits those members of an online learning community can project themselves as real to others in the online environment (Swan, 2021). Traditionally, social presence interactions have been analyzed from a learner-learner point of view for mutual construction of meaning (e.g., Kyei-Blankson et al, 2019;Castellanos-Reyes, 2021;Lim, 2023). Yet, online learning environments allow for other types of interaction like those between learners and instructors, learners and content (Moore, 1989), learners and network (i.e., social media) (Dennen, 2013), and learners and the rules that govern the broader community (e.g., netiquette, curricula, institutional guidelines) (Jonassen and Rohrer-Murphy, 1999;Engeström, 2001;Yamagata-Lynch, 2010).…”
