  • How social networks affect the learning performance among engineering students
    Breznik, Kristijan ; Law, Kris
    This paper presents an exploratory, data-analytic investigation among groups of engineering students from two countries, Slovenia and Hong Kong, regarding their social network and learning ... performance. Literature review suggests social networks and peer collaborations are the major elements in team learning. Specifically, the influences of peer relationships, social networks on one another as well as on effecting learning performance of groups of engineering students taking engineering management related courses, are identified. How to achieve the optimal social networking status so as to best facilitate the team learning is still a question faced by educators or learning advocators. This project aims to explore how the students perceive their peer classmates and how they are clustered to form into teams, and how these clustering and networking explain the impacts of social network on academic performance. One important highlight based on the network analysis results of this research shows, social relationships may have direct impact onstudents team learning performance. In this paper, graphical visualization of the analysis results enables methodological prioritization of various learning motivation factors. Also, this paper attempts to demonstrate how advanced network analytic tools can be applied to study these social phenomena, which has not been discussed previously.
