History: aw2l 2.2 Methodology

Methodology

We defined in “the first part” what we called Traditional methodology and Wiki methodology (De Pedro et al., 2006), and we use the same terminology here.

Data shown here (Table 2) were collected through individual surveys (Annex 1) with closed questions (answers ranging from "1" - Maximum Disagreement - to "5" - Maximum Agreement -), plus individual sheet per student containing a table to allow them to record the time they invested to fulfil their tasks in the group work ("self-recording table", from now onwards; Annex 2). Students had to hand in the sheets to their teachers at the end of the term inside a closed envelope labeled with their name on it, and they were not opened until the grading of the group work was completely finished.

The last set of data came from the academic marks they obtained from the grading of their group work, which was performed without taking into account the type of methodology deployed by students (same criteria for grading the final document made in group through any of the two methodologies).

Some results are plotted as bar graphs, with error bars showing standard error of the mean (calculated as standard deviation of the mean divided by the square root of the number of cases).
