Perceived learning effectiveness of a course Facebook page: teacher-led versus student-led approach

Abstract

This research aims to compare the perceived effectiveness of teacher -led and student-led content management approaches embraced in a course Facebook page designed to enhance traditional classroom learning. Eighty-five undergraduate marketing course students voluntarily completed a questionnaire composed of two parts; a depiction of a course Facebook page where both teacher and students can share instructional contents, and questions about perceived learning effectiveness. The findings indicate that students have more favorable evaluations of a student-led approach in sharing instructional contents on a course Facebook Page than a teacher-led approach. Additionally, it is shown that instructional contents posted by both teacher and students enhance the overall learning effectiveness of a course Facebook page incorporated into a traditional classroom teaching.

Developing an Instructional Design for the Design of Infographics and the Evaluation of Infographic Usage in Teaching Based on Teacher and Student Opinions

“…As an extremely useful medium in the transfer of knowledge, infographics contribute to the presentation of information presented in complex and long texts by simplifying the data in a more easily comprehendible size. Consequently, they can be used not only in education but also in academic fields and social media (Ozdamli, Kocakoyun, Sahin & Akdag, 2016;Tugrul, 2017;Uygarer & Uzunboylu, 2017). As a unique way of presenting synthesised information visually, infographics have an intriguing effect (Bradshaw & Porter, 2017).…”

An Empirical Investigation of Virtual Networking Sites Discontinuance Intention: Stimuli Organism Response-Based Implication of User Negative Disconfirmation

“…VNSs have interactive elements such as communication, entertainment, and socialization. The theory of traditional use and gratification "U and G" has identified three categories that meet user gratification needs: socialization, information availability, and hedonic concerns (Maier et al, 2012(Maier et al, , 2015Müller et al, 2017;Tugrul, 2017;Nawaz et al, 2018). The recent literature provides ample evidence supporting these factors (Ayyagari et al, 2011;Maier et al, 2014;Luqman et al, 2017;Cao and Sun, 2018).…”

Infographics in Guided Discovery Lessons for Grade 6 Science

“…The contents of infographics are arranged in detail, understood, and interpreted by the audience, according to Dunlap and Lowenthal (2016). Additionally, Ozdamli, Kocakoyun, Sahin, and Akdag (2016); Tugrul (2017); and Uygarer and Uzunboylu (2017) believe that infographics are an extremely beneficial portal for transmitting information, as they simplified data in a complex and lengthy document. Bradshaw and Porter (2017), on the other hand, propose that Infographics are a unique way of visually conveying condensed details while still having an interesting impact on its characteristics.…”
