The Web

The aim of the research is to explore the impact of the web-based Leitner Box which is enhanced with social network, particularly Facebook on English vocabulary learning. This research used mixed research design and the data were collected both in qualitative and quantitative ways. The instruments include questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and performance tests. 35 university’s students were chosen randomly as the respondents for the questionnaire and 30 students from English class were chosen purposively to do the pre-test and post-test. From the findings, it is discovered that students agreed they have problems in learning vocabulary (mean = 3.98).   The web-based Leitner Box has a significant positive impact on English vocabulary learning (p<0.05). Findings from the questionnaires also revealed that students gave positive opinions toward web-based Leitner box (mean = 4.28).  In term of whether the element of social network can be beneficial to students, the findings showed that social network helps students to learn English vocabulary in this collaborative learning environment (mean = 4.28). The students claimed that web-based Leitner Box and social network make the vocabulary learning process much easier and more interesting by sharing information and actively participating in the collaborative learning environment.

The Impact

This paper provides an overview of the impact that social media has on the development of collaborative learning within a cohort environment in a doctoral program. The researchers surveyed doctoral students in an education program to determine how social media use has influenced the doctoral students. The study looked at the following areas: a) the ability of social media use to develop a collaborative learning environment, b) access to social media content which supports learning, and c) whether social media use has contributed to the enhancement of the doctoral students’ academic achievement and learning progress. As social media use and on-line learning become more prevalent in education, it is important to continue to understand the impact that social media has on improving students’ ability to achieve their academic goals. This study provides insight on how doctoral students used social media and how social media use has influenced academic development in their cohort environment. In addition, this paper provides a discerning view into the role social media plays when developing a collaborative learning environment in a cohort.

Aprendizaje Colaborativo

Los cambios originados hace unos años con el Proceso de Bolonia y el establecimiento del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (eees) para lograr la convergencia y la comparabilidad en los sistemas educativos requieren introducir modificaciones en el proceso de aprendizaje tradicional. En este estudio se analiza cómo introducir esos cambios en la asignatura básica de Fundamentos de gestión empresarial, la cual se imparte en las facultades de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales, aplicado al caso de la Universidad San Pablo-ceu. Para esto, se propone la creación de entornos colaborativos de aprendizaje (collaborative learning environment-cle), con la utilización para su desarrollo del aprendizaje colaborativo basado en problemas, mediante el uso de redes sociales a través de dispositivos móviles distintos (m-learning), y con la realización de feedback a fin de mejorar el aprendizaje entre los propios estudiantes y con el profesor a través de tutorías, bien sean presenciales o bien virtuales. Se trata de crear un entorno que incluya todos aquellos recursos que ayudan al alumno a buscar y organizar información y conocimiento. Estos recursos, que se pueden compartir con grupos de trabajo, en nuestro caso serán fundamentalmente redes sociales, dispositivos móviles y la plataforma virtual de la universidad a través de la cuál puede gestionarse y llevarse a cabo el proceso de formación. El curso funciona en dicha plataforma como un entorno exclusivo que contiene, entre otros medios, un sistema de mensajería interna y otro de foros, diseñados con el propósito de llevar a cabo tutorías individuales y colectivas.
