The Impact of Transitioning to E-learning 2.0 on Student Academic Performance: Assessing Changes Using the Wilcoxon Test
摘要
The active inclusion of electronic means of providing educational information and knowledge assessment in the learning process has revolutionized education. However, this process has not stopped and today we can consider the next stage of e-learning development, which involves not only electronic means of learning, but also technologies based on the Internet and global interaction of participants of the educational process. This model is called e-learning 2.0. This paper examines the transition from the previous learning model to e-learning 2.0 and the impact of this transition on students’ academic performance. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is used to assess this impact. The appropriateness of using this test is based on the fact that changes in scores are measured in the same group and that the distribution of scores does not have to be normal. The result of assessment of students’ academic performance using the Wilcoxon test in the transition to the e-learning 2.0 model shows that students’ academic performance increases due to their more active engagement and deeper involvement in the educational process. #CSOC1120.
