HOW DOES STUDENTS’ LEARNING (ACHIEVEMENT) RELATE TO THEIR LEVEL OF WE-INTENTION AND THEIR LEARNING METHODS ON FACEBOOK?

Abstract

Over the past decade, collaborative learning environments on Social Network Sites (SNSs) has become more widespread than ever before across the world. Yet, there is still lack of well-established methodologies that approach the learning process from pedagogical, group and social network perspectives. In this study, it is aimed to develop a framework and also a roadmap for evaluating the impact of a pedagogical model, namely Jigsaw model, on the participation behaviors and successive achievements of the students. Here, the students are grouped based on their We-Intention levels (high and low) and status of participation in the Jigsaw learning process in Facebook groups. As a result of the study, a theoretical model is proposed towards the use of Jigsaw model on Facebook groups. This model is assumed to help educators make use of social network sites efficiently.
