Because it is not clear that teachers will volunteer for good professional development if it is made available, this study used surveys--including social network analysis--and interviews to examine why teachers did and did not participate in one school's high-quality study group. While all teachers were motivated by intrinsic incentives, two…

McGrath, Simon; Madziva, Roda; Thondhlana, Juliet – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2017
The last decade has seen the rise of literature focused on the rapid expansion of international students in higher education globally and the growing policy discourse around improving graduate employability. However, both, inevitably, have limitations. Together, they tend to homogenise international learners and see them narrowly as simply…

Zrnec, Aljaž; Lavbic, Dejan – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
The prevalence of different kinds of electronic devices and the volume of content on the Web have increased the amount of plagiarism, which is considered an unethical act. If we want to be efficient in the detection and prevention of these acts, we have to improve today's methods of discovering plagiarism. The paper presents a research study where…

Pai, Aditi; Cole, Megan; Kovacs, Jennifer; Lee, Mark; Stovall, Kyndra; McGinnis, Gene – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2017
We adopted Facebook as part of a large enrollment science discussion class in a bid to exploit students' time on this social networking site and tested the effectiveness of this "co-option" strategy of creating education-related activity on Facebook for our students. We used a "Facebook Group" to create an online avenue for…

Using Social Network Analysis of Online Discussion Interactions to Develop Better Assessment Metrics
Fried, Audrey – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Both formative and summative assessment in online discussion-based courses have typically focused on the behavior of individual students. Metrics such as the number of posts or number of words are typical. While these metrics are arguably a reasonable proxy for the efforts of individual students, they give little insight into how successfully…

Sofia Viseu – Sage Research Methods Cases, 2017
Social network analysis brings new perspectives to the study of social phenomena. Traditional sociological analysis is usually focused on the categorization of data. By contrast, social network analysis is focused on relations, aiming to describe the structure of relational ties. This case study will provide an example of the use of social network…

Fluent speakers of a target language choosing to enrol in beginner-level courses at tertiary institutes could be considered unfair. In this paper, however, based on data obtained from in-depth qualitative interviews with 12 students at a Hong Kong university, we show that fluent speakers of Japanese -- a widely-spoken foreign language in Hong Kong…
