Direct linkBicksler, William Hamilton; Hannah, Peter – Issues in Educational Research, 2022
Responding to the need for learning to remain engaging and productive while classrooms have moved online, a qualitative study was conducted to gain greater insight into the use of asynchronous online discussions as a replacement for their in-class counterpart. Specifically, the researchers aimed to gauge student responses to their use of the…

Cheng, Mengmeng; Kinshuk – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Asynchronous discussions have been widely used in education to support learning. Exploring the reasons why threads in asynchronous discussion forums die may help us improve our understanding of asynchronous discussions and lead to a more effective learning process. This study explored why threads in asynchronous discussion forums shut down. Two…

Awada, Ghada M.; Diab, Nuwar Mawlawi – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2023
This study set out to examine which peer review, face-to-face given orally or online given in writing, is more effective in improving the overall argumentative writing achievement of English as a foreign language (EFL) university learners. The study utilized an experimental design and reported on one experiment including online peer review (OLPR)…

Wang, Simon; Zhao, Addison; Newton, Sarah D.; Song, Shiyu; Morassini, Marissa Lyn; Brown, Scott W.; Lawless, Kimberley A. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
What makes a leader in an online learning environment? This question is approached from three angles in this study: online activity, language quality, and social background. This study examines the simulation data of the 2015 GlobalEd 2 Project, which consists of 337 7th and 8th grade students representing 18 countries. The three dimensions were…

Saeed, Murad Abdu; Ghazali, Kamila – Language Learning & Technology, 2017
The current paper reports an empirical study of asynchronous online group review of argumentative essays among nine English as foreign language (EFL) Arab university learners joining English in their first, second, and third years at the institution. In investigating online interactions, commenting patterns, and how the students facilitate text…

Wang, Linnan – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2019
This case study examined dynamic interactions of two small teams of English as Second Language students when they performed two collaborative argument writing tasks in asynchronous and synchronous web-based contexts. The two teams exhibited different interaction patterns when switching between contexts. These patterns were identified in terms of…

Özçinar, Hüseyin – Journal of Moral Education, 2015
This study investigated the effect of scaffolding computer-mediated discussions to improve moral reasoning and argumentation quality in pre-service teachers. Participants of this study were 76 teaching education students at a Turkish university. They were divided into three groups: (1) a computer-supported argumentation group; (2) a…

Sagaravasi, Varasiri – ProQuest LLC, 2012
This dissertation aims at investigating the speech act of disagreement as it is carried out linguistically in an English-language asynchronous online forum between unacquainted Americans and Thais (TEFL and TESL). The analysis and interpretation of the data are based on both "emic" and "etic" perspectives, in the framework of…

Ma, Ada W.W. – Interdisciplinary Journal of E-Learning and Learning Objects, 2013
In recent research, little attention has been paid to issues of methodology and analysis methods to evaluate the quality of the collaborative learning community. To address such issues, an attempt is made to adopt the Activity System Model as an analytical framework to examine the relationship between computer supported collaborative learning…

This reflective case study was based on our independent use of the debate as an online instructional approach and our shared interest in teaching strategies. In an interdisciplinary manner, using narrative inquiry and action research, we melded our data sources and analyzed the findings, including our individual experiences with the technique. Our…

Joiner, Richard; Jones, Sarah; Doherty, John – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2008
Asynchronous computer mediated communication (CMC) would seem to be an ideal medium for supporting development in student argumentation. This paper investigates this assumption through two studies. The first study compared asynchronous CMC with face-to-face discussions. The transactional and strategic level of the argumentation (i.e. measures of…
