Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the use of threaded discussions in the blog environment in terms of the factors affecting student course satisfaction. Experimental and control groups were selected, and the students in the experimental group participated in threaded discussions in the blog environment. In the study, students in both groups were asked to share, in the blog environment, their course materials and reports about the subjects included in the course. The experimental group was asked to participate in asynchronous threaded discussions, and feedback about the quality of their participation was rapidly provided by the researchers. The data, collected before and after the experiment, were distributed online. According to the findings, the effect of threaded discussions on students’ beliefs about blogs and peer review was not significant, and perceived learning, sense of community, collaborative learning, and threaded discussion were the variables that predicted course satisfaction. The students’ satisfaction scores were not affected by their beliefs about blogs, peer review, and their ability to organize multimedia features.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, blog ortamında yönlendirilmiş tartışma kullanımını öğrencilerin ders memnuniyetlerini etkileyen faktörler açısından incelemektir. Örneklem olarak sınıflardan biri deney, diğeri kontrol olmak üzere iki grup belirlenmiştir. Deney grubu öğrencilerine blog ortamında yönlendirilmiş tartışma kullanılarak uygulama yapılmıştır. Araştırmada her iki gruptaki öğrencilerin ders kapsamında yer alan konularla ilgili hazırladıkları ders materyallerini ve raporlarını blog ortamında paylaşmaları istenmiştir. Deney grubunun eşzamansız (asenkron) yönlendirilmiş tartışmalara katılmaları zorunlu tutulmuş ve katılımlarının kalitesi hakkında araştırmacılar tarafından hızlı bir şekilde dönüt verilmiştir. Deney öncesinde ve sonrasında her bir faktör için oluşturulmuş anket dağıtılarak toplanan veriler çalışmanın veri kaynağını oluşturmuştur. Elde edilen bulgulara göre öğrencilerin blog ve akran değerlendirme inançlarına yönlendirilmiş tartışma etkisi anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca, öğrenme algısı, topluluk hissi, işbirlikli öğrenme ve yönlendirilmiş tartışma değişkenlerinin ders memnuniyetini sırasıyla yordayan değişkenler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda öğrencilerin ders memnuniyeti puanlarının blog, akran değerlendirme inancı ve çoklu ortam özelliklerini düzenleyebilme inancı değişkenine göre farklılaşmadığı; diğer bir ifadeyle öğrencilerin ders memnuniyeti puanlarının, blog, akran değerlendirme ve çoklu ortam özelliklerini düzenleyebilme inancından etkilenmediği görülmüştür.
