Web 2.0 araçlarını etkin bir biçimde kullanmak, her öğretmen ya da öğretmen adayının başvurduğu bir usul değildir. Bununla birlikte Web 2.0 araçlarıyla hazırlanan içerikler, öğrencilerin ve ...öğretmenlerin motivasyonlarının artmasında önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, coğrafya öğretmenlerinin ve coğrafya öğretmen adaylarının hangi Web 2.0 araçlarına ne amaçla başvurduklarını ve Web 2.0 kullanım yetkinliklerini tespit etmektir. Araştırmaya Türkiye’nin farklı il ve okul türlerinde çalışmakta olan 172 coğrafya öğretmeni ve Türkiye’nin farklı üniversitelerinde öğrenim gören veya mezun 510 coğrafya öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak 2 bölümden oluşan ve çevrimiçi uygulanacak şekilde hazırlanan bir anket formu kullanıldı. Bu anket formunun birinci bölümünde, demografik bilgi ile katılımcıların Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanma amaçlarına yönelik 2 adet açık uçlu soru bulunmaktaydı. Anket formunun ikinci bölümünde ise 39 maddeden oluşan ve beşli likert tipinde hazırlanan Web 2.0 Araçları Kullanım Yetkinliği Ölçeği (WAKYÖ) bulunmaktaydı. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler Excel ve SPSS programlarıyla analiz edilmiştir. Açık uçlu sorulara verilen cevaplar kategorilere ayrılarak bir Excel dosyası üzerinde sayısallaştırılmıştır. Bu veriler ifadelerle ve frekans değerleriyle yorumlanmıştır. Analiz sonuçları WAKYÖ verilerinin normal dağılım göstermediğini açıkladığı için nonparametrik testler tercih edildi. İkili grup karşılaştırmalarında Man Whitney-U, üç ve daha fazla gruplardın karşılaştırılmasında ise Kruskal Wallis testi kullanıldı. Araştırma sonuçları katılımcıların Web 2.0 kullanma yetkinliklerinin düşük olduğunu ve Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanım yetkinliği açısından öğretmenlerde yaşın; öğretmen adaylarında ise mezun ya da son sınıf öğrencisi olmanın ve eğitim fakültesi öğrencisi/mezunu olmanın anlamlı bir farklılık oluşturduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
University students will be our future business leaders, and will have to address social problems caused by business by implementing solutions such as social entrepreneurship ventures. In order to ...facilitate the learning process that will foster social entrepreneurship, however, a more holistic pedagogy is needed. Based on learning theory, we propose that students' social entrepreneurship actions will depend on their learning about CSR and their absorptive capacity. We propose that instructors and higher education institutions can enhance this absorptive capacity by exploiting Web 2.0 technologies. We tested our proposition with a sample of 425 university students using structural equation modeling and found support for the proposed relationships.
With over 500 million users, the decisions that Facebook makes about its privacy settings have the potential to influence many people. While its changes in this domain have often prompted privacy ...advocates and news media to critique the company, Facebook has continued to attract more users to its service. This raises a question about whether or not Facebook's changes in privacy approaches matter and, if so, to whom. This paper examines the attitudes and practices of a cohort of 18- and 19-year-olds surveyed in 2009 and again in 2010 about Facebook's privacy settings. Our results challenge widespread assumptions that youth do not care about and are not engaged with navigating privacy. We find that, while not universal, modifications to privacy settings have increased during a year in which Facebook's approach to privacy was hotly contested. We also find that both frequency and type of Facebook use as well as Internet skill are correlated with making modifications to privacy settings. In contrast, we observe few gender differences in how young adults approach their Facebook privacy settings, which is notable given that gender differences exist in so many other domains online. We discuss the possible reasons for our findings and their implications.
Social media is fundamentally changing the way travellers and tourists search, find, read and trust, as well as collaboratively produce information about tourism suppliers and tourism destinations. ...Presenting cutting-edge theory, research and case studies investigating Web 2.0 applications and tools that transform the role and behaviour of the new generation of travellers, this book also examines the ways in which tourism organisations reengineer and implement their business models and operations, such as new service development, marketing, networking and knowledge management. Written by an international group of researchers widely known for their expertise in the field of the Internet and tourism, chapters include applications and case studies in various travel, tourism and leisure sectors.
Das Web 2.0 wird oft als „sozial“ oder partizipativ bezeichnet. Ein Genre des Web 2.0, für das dies sicherlich und vom Grundsatz her uneingeschränkt gilt, sind Foren. Jeder Benutzer kann am ...Kommunikationsaustausch teilnehmen und sein Wissen, seine Erfahrungen und seine Meinung frei und unbegrenzt veröffentlichen. Diese Studie konzentriert sich daher auf das Genre der Foren. Ich habe die Besonderheiten einer solchen Laienkommunikation im Kontext eines bestimmten Forums qualitativ und nach diskurs- oder inhaltsanalytischen Kriterien analysiert. Inhaltlich beziehe ich mich auf ein Forum aus Deutschland, das sich mit Gesundheitsfragen befasst. Ziel war es zu untersuchen, wie medizinisches Fachpersonal und medizinisches Wissen geschätzt werden. Da es im Kontext eines solchen Forums schwierig ist, auf eine genaue Anzahl von Benutzern zuzugreifen, habe ich eine bestimmte Website ausgewählt, die in der Liste der am häufigsten besuchten Websites aufgeführt ist und die aufgrund ihrer URL bereits eine besondere Wahrscheinlichkeit für den Zugriff aufweist (daher: der Name): www.gesundheit.de (laut rechtlichem Hinweis wird dieses Forum von Alliance Healthcare Germany mit Sitz in Frankfurt am Main betrieben). Die Forenbeiträge wurden dann aufgenommen und untersucht, wenn der jeweils letzte Forenbeitrag in der Zeit zwischen Dezember 2018 und April 2019 veröffentlicht wurde. Die Beiträge wurden unverändert übernommen, d. h. einschließlich der im Original gefundenen orthografischen und grammatikalischen Fehler.
Social media technologies such as YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook promised a new participatory online culture. Yet, technology insider Alice Marwick contends in this insightful book, "Web 2.0" only ...encouraged a preoccupation with status and attention. Her original research-which includes conversations with entrepreneurs, Internet celebrities, and Silicon Valley journalists-explores the culture and ideology of San Francisco's tech community in the period between the dot com boom and the App store, when the city was the world's center of social media development.
Marwick argues that early revolutionary goals have failed to materialize: while many continue to view social media as democratic, these technologies instead turn users into marketers and self-promoters, and leave technology companies poised to violate privacy and to prioritize profits over participation. Marwick analyzes status-building techniques-such as self-branding, micro-celebrity, and life-streaming-to show that Web 2.0 did not provide a cultural revolution, but only furthered inequality and reinforced traditional social stratification, demarcated by race, class, and gender.
This paper examines Bitcoin from a legal and regulatory perspective, answering several important questions.We begin by explaining what Bitcoin is, and why it matters. We describe problems with ...Bitcoin as a method of implementing a cryptocurrency. This introduction to cryptocurrencies allows us eventually to ask the inevitable question: is it legal? What are the regulatory responses to the currency? Can it be regulated?We make clear why virtual currencies are of interest, how self-regulation has failed, and what useful lessons can be learned. Finally, we produce useful and semi-permanent findings into the usefulness of virtual currencies in general, blockchains as a means of mining currency, and the profundity of Bitcoin as compared with the development of block chain technologies. We conclude that though Bitcoin may be the equivalent of Second Life a decade later, so blockchains may be the equivalent of Web 2.0 social networks, a truly transformative social technology.
Summary This monograph, addressed to higher education teachers, concerns learning in a Web 2.0 world, together with new, open forms of assessment and quality development. I find interesting the rich ...chapters on quality and assessment but less convincing the initial analysis and classification of Web 2.0 learning environments and landscapes. If you are likely to find this book relevant to you, I advise that you will probably find only parts of interest or use. Giuliana Dettori
