Major Field of Science: | Humanities | Field Category: | Arts;Languages and Literature | Keywords: | Social technologies;Web 2.0 technologies;Social constructionism;Online artifact | Issue Date: | 2013 | Source: | 14th IFIP TC 13 International Conference, Cape Town, South Africa, September 2-6, 2013, Proceedings,pp 554-570 | Link: | http://www.interact2013.org/Home | Abstract: | This paper reports on a qualitative study of the use of social technol-ogies, explored in the context of an intensive 650-hour Greek language course. Qualitative content analysis of instructors’ field notes, students’ and instructors’ reflections, interviews and a focus group was employed aiming at identifying the use of social technologies as a platform for constructing an online artifact. To triangulate the findings, the study also collected data by observing students’ activity with social technologies. A code scheme was developed which mani-fests the use of social technologies as a social constructionism platform identi-fying its major dimensions: exploration of ideas, construction of online artifact and evaluation of the constructed artifact. Actions within each dimension that indicate the manifestation of social constructionism are identified and dis-cussed. This study revealed results in favor of the use of social technologies as social constructing platforms suggesting a new framework for their use. | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-642-40480-1_39 | Rights: | © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2013 | Type: | Conference Papers | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology |
