- Summary:
-
This paper reports the results of a five-year case study of the use of online tools: Internet, e-mail, and the World Wide Web, within a Graduate School of Education. The conceptual framework was independently developed, but because of the striking parallel with activity theory, activity theory became the overall framework for interpreting findings. Ten research questions were investigated using multiple surveys; interviews of faculty, staff, and students; a focus group; and an analysis of electronic artifacts. Principle findings include the following: self-efficacy x perceived value persisted across time and across programs as success facilitators; personal/cultural compatibility, rather than time, separated earlier from later adopters; "Finding a voice and having something to say," a factor identified under various names by other researchers, posed a barrier for students and faculty alike; users valued personal scaffolding but had individual preferences concerning specific types of scaffolding. (Contains 19 references, 4 tables, and 1 figure.) (Author/AEF)
