As the key factor of using Facebook for self-directed learning is what its social presence affords, the research design reported in this paper is a replication of the Kim`s study (2011) that developed an instrument to measure social presence in distance higher education: The research project is conducted in an English department in a Taiwanese university. Approximate 180 first-year students are recruited. After the three-week SDVL experiences in Facebook, they respond to the social presence scale of four measures - mutual attention and support, affective connectedness, sense of community and open communication. In addition, the participants` postings are examined for cross-reference data to capture learning behaviors. For post-intervention evaluation, the modified learning satisfaction scale (Arbaugh, 2000) and the perceived learning achievement (Eom, Wen, Ashill, 2006) are used. Results from the study`s investigation will shed lights on why Facebook can assist language learning. The pedagogical implication is that social presence supports selfdirected learning in such a social networking community. | 關聯: | Work-In-Progress Poster - Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Computers in Education, ICCE 2014,58-60 22nd International Conference on Computers in Education, ICCE 2014; Nara; Japan; 30 November 2014 到 4 December 2014; 代碼 110501 |
