Paper Abstract:
|
In 2011, University of Warsaw conducted a pilot research to examine whether students access to information showing the characteristics of their learning organization is connected with a sense of efficacy, level of motivation, preferred learning forms and perceived teacher presence. One of the means used in the project was introduction of a mechanism for teaching and learning management in an e-learning setting SPECTOR. This way, a support for prevention, diagnosis and learning failure therapy was introduced. The mechanism was implemented as a Moodle LMS extension. Its goal was to process activity reports gathered by Moodle and present them in an user-friendly way to both students and teachers. The majority of students taking part in the research pointed out SPECTORs importance to improving their motivation and planning their learning activities. Resolving of all the doubts set in the project requires a further, more complex studies (including organizational learning styles). |
