Popis: | This study aimed to analyze the motivation of participation, satisfaction, and core competencies of two different groups of students, namely, higher and average performance groups, and then to compare the distinctive aspects of their activities according to the participation stages. For these purposes, this study collected the reflection journals and satisfaction surveys from 59 students who participated in the learning community, and analyzed the collected data by using content analysis and the independent t-test. The main research findings were as follows.First, in both groups, the participants were motivated most by enhancing the major competencies, and they were satisfied most with the active participation of their fellow students. Additionally, the independent t-test showed that the scores pertaining to program satisfaction and core competencies of the higher performance group were significantly higher than those of the average group. Second, this study reconstructed the frameworks from the previous studies and developed the final framework, including 3 participation stages and 17 evaluation indicators for comparing the distinctive aspects of student activities. Third, compared to the average group, the results showed that the higher performance group had more frequency of responses in 11 evaluation indicators. The results also showed higher frequency of responses in all of the three stages of participation. Remarkably, the higher performance group had more frequency of responses in all the indicators included in the execution stage. Lastly, based on all the findings, this study derives practical implications applied to manage and support learning communities, and makes suggestions for strengthening the program. |
