The Effects of Web-Based and Face-to-Face Discussion on Computer Engineering Majors' Performance on the Karnaugh Map
Hung, Yen-Chu
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v44 n3 p345-359 2011
This study investigates the different effects of web-based and face-to-face discussion on computer engineering majors' performance using the Karnaugh map in digital logic design. Pretest and posttest scores for two treatment groups (web-based discussion and face-to-face discussion) and a control group were compared and subjected to covariance (ANCOVA) statistical analysis. Results showed that both web-based discussion and face-to-face discussion significantly increased students' achievement. (Contains 3 tables and 3 figures.)
