Students- uses of Wiki in Teacher Education: A Statistical Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Wikis are considered to be part of Web 2.0 technologies that potentially support collaborative learning and writing. Wikis provide opportunities for multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously. Most wikis have also a page for written group discussion. Nevertheless, wikis may be used in different ways depending on the pedagogy being used, and the constraints imposed by the course design. This work explores students’ uses of wiki in teacher education. The analysis is based on a taxonomy for classifying students’ activities and actions carried out on the wiki. The article also discusses the implications for using wikis as collaborative writing tools in teacher education. Keywords—Behaviorism, collaborative writing, socioconstructivism, taxonomy, web 2.0 technology, wiki
