Verkkokeskustelua käsitteleviä artikkeleita
2002-2005

Listasin vuoden 2004 lopulla joukon verkossa käytävää keskustelua käsitteleviä artikkeleita . Mukana on vain sellaisia tekstejä joiden täysversiot ovat saatavilla verkon kautta. Jotkut kuitenkin vain Helsingin yliopiston (osa muidenkin yliopistojen) palvelimien kautta hankittujen oikeuksien mukaisella tavalla. 3.1.2006 listalla on 68 artikkelia: vuodelta 2005 15 kpl, vuodelta 2004 29 kpl, vuodelta 2003 15 kpl ja vuodelta 2002 9 kpl.

Vuosittainen jakauma ei ole sattumanvarainen, vaan kuvaa verkkokeskusteluja käsittelevien tutkimusartikkelien määrän voimakasta kasvua viime vuosina. Samalla myös sisällöt ovat koko ajan muuttuneet kiinnostavimmiksi ja haastavimmiksi. Analyysi kohdentuu yhä tarkemmin sekä  keskustelun yksityiskohtiin että yleisemmän mallinnuksen ongelmiin.

Pääosin artikkelit ovat TOP-10 listani lehdistä, mutta joukossa on jonkin verran myös muista lehdistä poimittuja kirjoituksia. Mukana on vain sellaisia artikkeleita, joiden täysversiot ovat saatavissa netin kautta pdf tai html –muodossa, tosin valitettavasti useinkin vain yliopiston kirjaston e-lehdet palvelun (ja yliopiston tiekoneiden) kautta. Jos et pääse suoraan käsiksi artikkelien täysversioon kysy neuvoa: raimo.parikka@helsinki.fi

Katso myös Verkkopedalehdet blogin uusia lehtiesittelyjä ja Elizabeth A. Murphy & co:n listaa (alla).  Myös useimmat "Blogit yliopisto-opetuksessa" osastossa olevat artikkelit käsittelevät tavalla tai toisella verkkokeskusteluja.

Artikkelit ovat alla ilmestymisensä mukaisessa järjestyksessä, tuoreimmat päällimmäisinä. Lista ei ole kattava, mutta se on kuitenkin edustava otos koko ajan vilkkaammaksi käyvästä verkkokeskusteluun kohdistuvasta tutkimuksesta.

Täydennän listaa sitä mukaa kun uusia artikkeleita löytyy. Ehkä jossain vaiheessa olisi myös toiveita niiden sisällöllisemmästä kommentoinnista tai laajemmasta yhteenvedosta. Tarvetta sellaisella varmaankin olisi.

Learning through online discussion: A case of triangulation in research Michael Hammond University of Warwick, UK, Mongkolchai Wiriyapinit, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand Australasian Journal of Educational Technology Volume 21, Number 3, 2005 lisätty 31.12.2005

This paper reports on issues in carrying out research into online discussion. The context is a study of a distance learning module within an MBA program. The module required students to tackle problems based on real life scenarios within small online groups. Students were studying part time and shared similar professional backgrounds. The research looked at students' overall evaluation of the module, ways in which group work was conducted, and the contribution of the tutor. The approach taken was an interpretive case study using questionnaire survey, text analysis and interviews. The main findings from the study are reported, but the focus is on the strengths of, and difficulties in, using the research methods. Triangulation of methods provides the researcher with a greater degree of confidence in reporting findings, although subjective interpretation is still needed.

Sources of Difference in Reliability: Identifying Sources of Difference in Reliability in Content Analysis of Online Asynchronous Discussions Elizabeth Murphy Memorial University of Newfoundland Canada Justyna Ciszewska-Carr Memorial University of Newfoundland Canada, International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning (July - 2005)   lisätty 3.10.2005

Abstract:This paper reports on a case study which identifies and illustrates sources of difference in agreement in relation to reliability in a context of quantitative content analysis of a transcript of an online asynchronous discussion (OAD). Transcripts of 10 students in a month-long online asynchronous discussion were coded by two coders using an instrument with two categories, five processes, and 19 indicators of Problem Formulation and Resolution (PFR).

Online Writing as an Indicator of Student Performance Michael K. Barbour and Michael A.J. Collins International Journal of Instructional Technologu & Distance Learning Vol. 2. No. 8.  June 2005 lisätty 1.9.2005

Abstract: In this paper, the authors consider student use of a web-based discussion forum in a second year, non-major Biology course. The authors discuss how meaningful participation in the forum is a form of public writing and may be an indicator of overall student success in the course. The authors also discuss how this success in the course is not tied to the students’ previous performance at the post-secondary level.

Students' self analysis of contributions to online asynchronous discussions Elizabeth Murphy Memorial University of Newfoundland & Jamie Loveless, Exploits Valley High - Maple Division, Grand Falls-Windsor, NL, Australasian Journal of Educational Technology 2005, 21(2), 155-172.

This paper presents an example of an approach that involves both the student and the instructor in the evaluation of an online discussion in a context of teaching and learning. According to this approach, the student conducts a self analysis of his or her contributions to the discussion, using criteria supplied in advance of the discussion. One student's four part self analysis of his contribution to an online discussion is presented to illustrate the approach. The self analysis focused on the number and length of postings, claims and grounds, and on knowledge construction, and was designed to engage students in higher levels of thinking. The approach to self analysis is discussed in terms of its modification for use in other contexts and implications for practice are presented.

Abstract: This study looks at online discussions within the context of a group endeavor and attempts to evaluate three assertions: 1) students in an online discussion proceed through higher levels of thinking; 2) Online conversations follow an “ebb and flow” pattern; 3) The level of the first posting to the discussion influences the level of subsequent postings. Postings were classified by the Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives and were graphed to help analyze the assertions.

Online Asynchronous Discussion in Teaching and Learning: A Bibliography

Myös muualla osataan laatia tämänkaltaisia listoja ja vieläpä sangen erinomaisia. Newfoundlandin Memorial yliopiston prof. Elizabeth A. Murphyn johtama työryhmä on koonnut laajan bibliografian asynkronisen verkkokeskustelun käytöstä opetuksessa ja oppimisessa (Online Asynchronous Discussion in Teaching and Learning: A Bibliography). Luettelon 6. versio on päivätty huhtikuussa 2005 ja sitä ilmeisesti päivitetään puolivuosittain.  Luettelo on jaettu seuraaviin osa-alueisiin:

  • Content Analysis
  • Moderating/Facilitating/Structuring
  • Communities
  • Collaboration/Interaction
  • Online Discussion Quality Improvement
  • Problem Formulation and Resolution
  • Critical Thinking
  • Participation
  • Case Studies
  • Professional Practice
  • Evaluating/Grading
  • General

Luettelo kattaa ajallisesti viimeiset 15 vuotta. Se ei kuitenkaan ole viime vuosien osalta yhtä laaja kuin omani.
