Emotions in connectivist learning experiences /slideshow/emotions-in-connectivist-learning-experiences-232071072/232071072 emotionsinconnectivistlearningexperiences-200415203747
Emotion has long been a question of great interest in a wide range of fields. As a general rule, emotions are categorized as positive, which we seek, and negative, from which we turn away. However, empirically-backed connectivists claim that even negative emotions produce positive effects on student performance. What is less clear is how this process happens. This study had two primary aims. First, to assess the prevalence and distribution of emotions in connectivist environments. Second, to provide in-depth and experiment-based analysis that shows how and when negative emotions have their positive effect. Data for this study were mainly collected using an aided think-aloud protocol with nine participants, each of whom received ten tasks. Findings of the current study confirmed the dominance of negative emotions in connectivist learning environments and presented a model that could explain the variation of empirical results. Implications for researchers and teachers in distance education are discussed.]]>

This paper addresses the aforementioned question by tackling the core concepts of ANN and matching them with connectivist's assumptions. The study employed the qualitative content analysis approach where the researcher started with purposely selected and relatively small content samples in connectivism and ANN literature. The results revealed that ANN partially supports connectivism’s assumptions but this does not mean that other learning theories such as behaviorism and constructivism are not supported as well. The findings enlighten our understanding of connectivism and where it may be applied.]]>

Understanding Connectivism /slideshow/understanding-knowledge-network-learning-and-connectivism-60704683/60704683 understandingknowledgenetworklearningandconnectivism-160409234726
Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism and other growing theories such as Actor-Network and Connectivism are circulating in the educational field. For each, there are allies who stand behind research evidence and consistency of observation. Meantime, those existing theories dominate the field until the background is changed or new concrete evidence proves their insufficiencies. Connectivists claim that the background or the general climate has recently changed: a new generation of researchers, connectivists propose a new way of conceiving knowledge. According to them, knowledge is a network and learning is a process of exploring this network. Other researchers find this notion either not clear or not new and probably, with no effect in the education field. This paper addresses a foggy understanding of knowledge defined as a network and the lack of resources talking about this topic. Therefore, it tries to clarify what it means to define knowledge as a network and in what way it can affect teaching and learning.]]>
