Abstract:
|
Many students’ out-of-class learning experience includes working with other people, such as peers and tutors, and using online and social-media resources, such as Khan Academy, YouTube, Chegg, GroupMe, and Wikipedia. Online resources have recently emerged; they change rapidly, are widely used and understudied. One might ask whether these resources help or hurt students’ learning, which resources are fair or unfair to use, what emotions are associated with the use of certain resources, and why. Perhaps students and instructors differ in their opinions to the previous questions, and in ways that depend on how they identify. We conducted semi-structured interviews with introductory physics and engineering students and instructors focusing on their ethical and epistemological stances regarding use of out-of-class resources. We will open with a literature review, putting into context our viewpoint of out-of-class resource use. Then we will present preliminary analysis of interview segments.
