Download or read book Talking Or Typing written by Elizabeth Irene Guerra and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this work is to observe communication patterns between students in a face to face and online undergraduate level class. This study will specifically focus on the gender communication patterns of students. The researcher will compare the communication patterns to identify gaps between a traditional and online class. Additionally, the observation will focus on examining the communication patterns and gender discourse. This study focuses on the following questions: In what ways does a classroom environment (face to face verse online) impact the caliber of student participation? Is there a difference in the gender of the participants when comparing a face to face course to an online course? Students from a State University were observed in a face to face and online class of the same course. The participants in the study consisted of 176 students at a State University. The face to face class consisted of 51 students; 27 males and 24 females. The online class consisted of 119 students; 52 males and 67 females. Observational methods were used by utilizing a rubric during the observations. The rubric was designed for each type of class seeking to identify specific themes. The date collected from the rubric allowed for the researcher to conduct thematic analysis and make conclusions when comparing the observations from the two different classroom dynamics. The qualitative nature of this study allowed for specific conclusions to be drawn from observations of a face to face class and online class in relation to gender. The current research for how men and women communicate in the classroom aligns with what was observed in the face to face class. Males are more likely to draw attention to the class by raising their hand and being called on to participate. Females are not called on as often as male students. Their opinion can be dismissed by being interrupted and feeling as if they do not matter. Online class allowed for female students to become more comfortable with voicing their opinions through online discussion posts. Female students are more likely to utilize self disclosure and are more open to participation and providing feedback. This researcher came away with the impression that the classroom environment can impact a student's likelihood to feel connected.

Download or read book Democratic Or Gendered Domain Communication and Learning Styles in the Online Classroom written by Jennifer Ann Bruns and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer-mediated communication (CMC) within cyberspace has become a recent pedagogical phenomenon. Cyberspace creates a domain for new learning environments. Using the online classroom has the potential to break down gender barriers and erect a more democratic space for students. Even with this limitless potential, there are competing conceptions regarding these new and promising classrooms--will online education conform to the same standards that shape a gendered society, or will these classrooms create a more equitable environment for both male and female students? Because of the rising numbers of online female students, gender bias becomes an increasingly important research topic. Yet the past research remains inconclusive regarding the relationships between gender, communication styles, and learning styles in the online environment. The purpose of the current project was to investigate cyberspace through CMC to study the influence of both biological and psychological gender on self-reported communication styles, online communication styles, and learning styles. This project used a case study approach to investigate thirteen participants' style preferences. Participants completed the Bem Sex Role Inventory, the Communication Styles Q-Set, a demographic survey, the Kolb Learning Style Inventory, and McCrosky's Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale. As the researcher, I analyzed participants' CMC in an online classroom using a developed Research Coding Scheme. I then compared participants' CMC to the other measures through the calculations of mean scores. The results revealed differences between male and female participants when it came to participants' CMC and self-reported communication styles, there were style similarities between CMC and self-reported communication, participants' learning style preferences appeared to reflect the online environment, and learning style preferences drew parallels with communication style preferences. These results reveal

Download or read book Agents of Change written by Gabriele Kreutzner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major driving forces behind the international Women ́s University was the interest in changing the traditional university. In its pursuit of this goal, the projekt vifu (the Virtual International University) combined the overall focus on gender with a conceptual stress on virtuality as a potential inroad to transform and innovate the established academic system. This collection presents results and critical evaluations of the vifu as a feminist project designed in flavor of change. In addition to this, the volume presents and discusses projects which theoretically and practically integrate the new ICTs into their departure to new horizons in higher education and research and at the same practice a particular sensitivity towards gender as a social category. The authors of this anthology share the perspective on the category of gender and ICT-related developments summed up by "virtuality" as potential tools for transforming traditional academia. While change is not considered as a quality per se, each contribution makes its case for specific kinds of "making new". In doing so, they also seek answers to the questions of a democratic and socially responsible knowledge production and distribution in the 21 st century.
