Literature Review #3
  •  Visual. 
    • Picture of Nenagh Meredith Kemp
  • Citation.  
    • Kemp, Nenagh, and Rachel Grieve. "Face-To-Face Or Face-To-Screen? Undergraduates' Opinions And Test Performance In Classroom Vs. Online Learning". Frontiers, 2014, https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01278/full. Accessed 1 Mar 2021.
  • Summary. 
    • The texts goes into detail about the setup of the two studies. The point of the studies was to find the difference, if any, between online learning compared to in-person learning. The studies themselves were relatively small group size, but all were in their 3rd  year in college. The first study did not find any difference academically when the students had to be thought online vs. a more traditional learning environment. The participants also expressed what was positive and negative about both ways of teaching. The second study had a larger study group but produced the same results as the first study.
  • Author(s).  
    • Both Nenagh Meredith Kemp and Rachel Grieve specialized in psychology and, as such, can speak on what the students mean as well as preparing both studies to ensure they are ethical. Both have also earned their master's degrees and have been teaching for well over a decade.
  • Key terms. 
    • qualitative comments: statements from the participants in the studies on different topics
    • individual differences: the personalization of the student and how they contrasted with one another. 
  • Three Quotes.  
    • "with students noting that they felt more engaged when the activities were completed in the social environment to a classroom setting, rather than online." (Nenagh and Grieve, pg 5)
    • " Some students noted that they had no wish to read the comments of their classmates online, although they were happy to listen to and interact with their classmates in real life."(Nenagh and Grieve, pg 5)
    • "Rather than being seen simply as an alternative modality for delivering academic content, the benefits of online technology should be adapted not only to offer greater flexibility but
    • to inspire students’ engagement and success at university and beyond."(Nenagh and Grieve, pg 10)
  • Value. 
    • I will use this text to show how online learning is fundamentally different mentally for students and how it shouldn't be used as a blanket substitute for in-person learning. By showing its straights and weaknesses, I will be able to reveal why E-learning should be used on a case-by-case basis instead of a mass transition.

Research Question and 3 Scholarly Sources

New Question  As technology has rapidly changed, it is now possible for students to be taught fully online. This new ability could have drastic differences in both the quality of education as well as unintended side effects on students. The question I will be answering is how might online college affect the academic and social life of students from those who had a more traditional in-person college education Research paperwork cited Bettinger, Eric et al. "How Online College Classes Alter Student And Professor Performance". Cesinfo, vol 1, no. 1, 2014, pp. 1-38., Accessed 12 Feb 2021. Dhawan, Shivangi.

The graph helps illustrate the percentages of people in several income brackets. I can use it to show how many students do not have internet or computer access. This will be used to point out how less affluent students tend to a larger disadvantage when it comes to e-learning. Source: https://usafacts.org/articles/internet-access-students-at-home/

A Possible topic for research paper

Image
One possible topic for a research paper would be the differences academically and socially between those who took online classes from those who had a more traditional in-person college education. I'm thinking of choosing this topic because it is very preventive in recent years as more and more students take online college. As COVID-19 stopped students from attending in-person classes, knowing the effects of online-only school would be beneficial as it could a cheaper alternative to more traditional higher education.
