Analysis of interaction in hybrid learning environments Interaction Analysis in Hybrid Learning Environment

Abstract

The analysis of interaction in virtual and hybrid environments is a complex topic, as it is necessary to overcome quantitative approximation, number of messages, and to obtain information on interaction dynamics, in the framework of educational activities. This work presents a set of strategies for interaction analysis, which were designed during the development of a doctoral thesis, in response to two challenges that were identified: how to observe interaction and how to relate the interaction to academic performance? The strategies designed provide elements for the analysis of educational activities, analysis of asynchronous virtual discussions, representation of interactions and the relationship between interaction and academic performance. The set of strategies made it possible to recognise the phenomenon of interaction in the context of educational activities, as well as the process or dynamics in group interaction, which shows the group’s evolution towards knowledge building. On the other hand, it also made it possible to analyse virtual interaction processes and make comparisons between group dynamics and the relationship between groups and academic performance outcomes. While the group of strategies emerge in a specific study, they offer tools that can be used in other contexts. The way strategies are used is illustrated in this article by an exempl.Interaction analysis in virtual and hybrid learning environments is a complex issue, since it is necessary to go beyond a quantitative approach (number of messages) and obtain information about interaction dynamics in the context of educational activities. This article presented a set of interaction analysis strategies, which were designated during the development of a doctoral thesis in response to the two challenges identified: First, how can action be observed? And second, how can interaction be related to academic performance? The strategies designated as providing elements for the analysis of educational activities, of asynchronous online discussions, of interaction representation and of the relationship between interaction and academic performance. For the analysis of educational activities, elements of socio-cultural activity theory were used. For asynchronous online discussions, a content analysis of discussion Transcripts was shaped using a group of categories Reflecting the knowledge construction process. InterAction was represented using the forogram technique, which is an alternative strategy for evaluating online discussion forums. The relationship between interaction and academic performance was established by comparing interaction dynamics and the academic performance results of the groups selected. Finally, an examination is given to show how the strategies are applied.
