In collaboration of two universities: students‘ self-assessment and self-evaluation of online activities

Abstract

The methods of the research include the administration of part of a designed questionnaire, analysis of students’ responses and their statistical treatment by a means of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The research supports the view that use of technology in the classroom is beneficial. In general, respondents are content with their class activities in doing online exercises and basically their attitudes depend on the types of exercises: students are positive about easy formats and negative about more difficult formats. Moreover, students believe that collaborative learning in class is beneficial for increasing communicative ability they will need in their future jobs. Computations of Spearman’s correlation coefficients have shown that there are good correlations among students’ responses of two universities at the significance levels either 0.05, i.e. at the probability of 95%, or 0.01, i.e. at the probability of 99%, and the values of Spearman’s coefficients vary between 0.705 and 0.863. These results mean that the relationships are not likely to be due to chance and may be extended beyond the studied samples despite their smallness.
