37. Acceptance of Social Media for Study Purposes—A Longitudinal Case Study.

Author

Černá, Miloslava and Borkovcová, Anna

Abstract

Background: Social media is a ubiquitous phenomenon that serves as a tool for communication, collaboration, and creativity. In the long term, it has an indispensable place in the field of education. The research paper discusses the use of certain social networking sites where learning management systems are extensively and consistently used in the teaching and learning process at universities. The rapid transition to online platforms had a tremendous impact on the educational process, exposing and promoting the effectiveness of heutagogy. The circumstances made it necessary to emphasize the value of self-directed learning and the capacity to identify educational requirements and strategies for reaching study objectives. This kind of research corresponds to the increased need to develop desired self-study skills in students. Objectives: The goal of the paper is to demonstrate how undergraduate students perceive the trends in acceptance and the degree of appropriateness of social media for academic purposes. Methods: Research on social media use in education was inspired by a review of the literature. The purpose of the questionnaire is to track awareness, use, general satisfaction, communication, testing, and revision. The set of social media examined in the survey (years 2021 and 2022) was modified to reflect the social media landscape at the time. This study compares the findings of four different studies. The outcomes are displayed in graphs. Results: Two areas are analyzed: social media as a means of communication in the process of education and social media as a tool enabling students' revision and testing of study materials. The first two studies, which were conducted in 2014 and 2019, are based on the same set of examined social media and fit the comparison, enabling to define the trend in students' perceived satisfaction with social media for study purposes. The third and fourth studies discussed in this paper were run during the winter semesters of 2021 and 2022. Conclusions: The most significant differences between 2021 and 2022 can be seen in Instagram, Twitch, and other platforms, where a substantial drop in satisfaction in the communication field can be seen. The biggest difference in revision and testing is found in Facebook, Twitch, and Teams, which are abandoning online teaching and learning after the COVID-19 event. Social media use for studying has significantly decreased, with noteworthy decreases in Wiki, Facebook, and video calls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of this paper is to describe a pilot phase of the whole assessment process of one of the selected websites called Shephard Software in detail. This pilot testing is supposed to reveal potential pitfalls which could be detected so that user testing of websites by students of Tourism management could be adapted accordingly to reflect needs and abilities of students with different computer competences, with different experience and behaviour. The sub-goal is to compare the outcomes and determine suitability of incorporation of websites into the process of education and define possible modifications in the content and structure of usability forms.

Abstract

Interest in students learning engagement and utilization of social software applications forms the philosophical core of the long-term research which has been conducted at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Králové within the frames of national and specific educational projects. Academicians are striving to reveal how students perceive and utilize new possibilities of Web 2.0 applications like social nets or learning management systems. The goal of this paper is to map real situation relating to utilization of social applications, in this case utilization and perception of Facebook with focus on students' active engagement. As for the research tool, the survey with a questionnaire was applied with five groups of sixty-seven full-time students of Applied informatics, Information and Financial management bachelor study programmes. Utilization of Internet and social applications are connected with technological readiness. Social applications are seen in accordance with literature review in their features that enable a wide range of interaction, collaboration and sharing materials and ideas among users. But findings from our research are not so promising; surveys do not prove such students' involvement and call for further discussion. Findings show that 94 % of students sample use Facebook for both personal and study purposes. But less than half of them can see potential in Facebook. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The paper deals with utilization of social software applications in university settings. It focuses in detail on social application potential in three core areas of teaching/learning process on appropriateness of selected social applications in terms of study materials, communication tools and options for testing students' knowledge perceived by students. Readers are provided with an insight into the development of acceptance and utilization of social applications by university students via comparison of findings from two surveys which were run in 2011 and 2014 at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Králové. The surveys were conducted within a national project "Evaluation of the modern technologies contributing towards forming and development university students' competences" and within a follow up Excellence project "The ICT reflection within cognitive process development". The insight predominantly from the students perspective is revealed; the amount of students who are familiar with individual applications and frequency of utilization of these applications for private and educational purposes are illustrated in graphs. Findings on awareness and utilization of examined applications are compared and form the starting point or the base for the key part of the paper. The changed view of social applications' potential and assessment of their appropriateness for selected goals in the process of education is described and also illustrated in graphs; it presents the core of the paper. The study problem of the described surveys concerns selected social software applications with various missions; these applications have changed within a decade the landscape of the Internet and naturally influenced in some ways lives of their users; some applications completely ceased to exist some came to the existence. The objective of the paper is to compare gained findings from repeated survey and show the progress or stagnation in acceptance and utilization of social software applications and describe students changed perception of potential of selected applications in three areas of the educational process. Findings show visible changes in utilization of selected applications. There can be seen trend in more frequent utilization of social applications for both university and further studies purposes. A summarizing graph shows an increase in use of some applications and on the other side a complete disappearance other applications like Twitter, ICQ or Bookmarking. Blackboard with 100% dominates, followed close behind by Facebook, YouTube and Wikiplatform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This article deals with the impact of the ICT-supported instruction within the tertiary education. It introduces results of the comparative study running in 2009-11 at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove. It focuses on students' knowledge developed in the process of the traditional faceto- face versus ICT-supported instruction. The research was run in a technical subject - Database Systems. The research focused on two key parts: (1) the comparison of outcomes in the process of education, (2) university students' attitudes, opinions, perception and acceptance of modern educational methods and technologies, especially of e-learning. The project "Evaluation of the modern technologies contributing towards forming and development university students' competences" was solved in last three years at the University of Hradec Kralove. The project verified the hypothesis whether the appropriate implementation of ICT within university education supports the process of forming new competences and leads to comparable students' achievements in the cognitive process. The research subject was defined as the comparison of students' performance in the experimental and control groups within the cognitive processes (committing to memory, understanding and application of gained knowledge). The experimental group includes data from ICT-supported instruction, while the control group contains data collected within the traditional face-to-face instruction. The main hypothesis was defined as follows: "The proposed ICT-supported concept of university instruction enables to reach students' performance comparable to the traditional face-to-face instruction. Students accept eLearning form of education in a more positive way - in the area of attitudes, opinions and perception. The null hypothesis was accepted. The main objective is to analyze students' acceptation of eLearning in the above mentioned fields. An active students' approach to education ranks among primary principles of the successful process of education. This approach is considerably affected by perception and acceptance of educational methods. Due to this fact it is desirable to deal with students' attitudes and opinions on this issue.
