The Use of Facebook in an Introductory MIS Course: Social Constructivist Learning Environment*

This presentation is to examine whether a model of ‘Social Constructivist Learning Environment’ (SCLE) design developed by Fer by utilizing six different research studies is effective for the learning process, ethnocentrism and intercultural approaches, as well as for the academic achievement of students in different grades. The theoretical framework of SCLE comes from both Dewey’s famous expression of ‘learning by doing’ and Vygotsky’s ‘zone of proximal development’ ideas. SCLE consists of four main stages that include learner analysis, context determination, meaning construction, and learning evaluation. The role of the teacher in SCLE design is to serve as both a facilitator and moderator to the students. In general, SCLE design is effective for students of different grades, based on the results of six different research studies. It has been shown to be effective in the learning processes, ethnocentrism and intercultural approaches, as well as in academic achievement.Keywords: Social constructivism, instructional design

Social Constructivist Learning

Recognizing the power of the Internet to connect people, regardless of place or time, we explore the notion of a virtual form of ethnography, suggesting online, textual interactive interviews are worthy of research consideration. This paper reports on three research projects, drawing examples from almost ten years in the evolution of Internet supported conferencing software. It is the position of this paper that we were able to share and develop new insights into being authors, interlocutors, online learners, online researchers, and members of an educational context. Further, we feel that we were able to sustain conversations beyond the scope of many traditional face-to-face interview sessions, noting that the participants enjoyed the process and often found it hard to quit their interactions with us. Hence our position that even though the technology is still emerging and improving, the potential is clearly rich, inviting, and worth continued study.nstructor if given the authority in a social constructivist learning environment.
