Abstract:

Over the past decade, collaborative learning environments on Social Network Sites (SNSs) has become more widespread than ever before across the world. Yet, there is still lack of well-established methodologies that approach the learning process from pedagogical, group and social network perspectives. In this study, it is aimed to develop a framework and also a roadmap for evaluating the impact of a pedagogical model, namely Jigsaw model, on the participation behaviors and successive achievements of the students. Here, the students are grouped based on their We-Intention levels (high and low) and status of participation in the Jigsaw learning process in Facebook groups. As a result of the study, a theoretical model is proposed towards the use of Jigsaw model on Facebook groups. This model is assumed to help educators make use of social network sites efficiently.
