Abstract:
|
The current study evaluated performance of 2443 /2444 students and the use of WebCT . Undergraduate psychology majors at UT Arlington who successfully completed PSYC 2443 and 2444 , Research Design and Statistics I and II , during the Fall /Spring semesters of 2006 -2007 , 2007 -2008 , and 2008 -2009 semesters were part of this study (N=132 ) . Students became more efficient users of WebCT over the course of the two semesters . Communication variables were significant predictors of performance (Lecture , Lab , and Total grade ) in 2443 but not for 2444 performance . WebCT usage was predictive of of Lab grades in 2443 and all performance variables in 2444 . The current project yielded some interesting findings that have not been reported previously , which has stimulated some additional thinking about technology assistance in the classroom . |
