The Impact of an Online Collaborative Program on Intrinsic Motivation, Satisfaction and Attitudes towards Technology
Shonfeld, Miri; Magen-Nagar, Noga
Technology, Knowledge and Learning, v25 n2 p297-313 Jun 2020
This research examined the contribution of an online collaborative program involving students from two different teacher training colleges. It measured the impact of the program on attitudes towards technology with regard to technological anxiety, self-confidence and technological liking among students. The advanced online collaborative program at the training colleges was based on a model that used technology to increase trust between students from different cultures through online learning. The research was qualitative and was based on 58 graduate students who participated in the program. The questionnaires answered by participants dealt with the level of collaboration, intrinsic motivation, satisfaction, and attitudes towards technology. The results indicate that in an online collaborative program the student's intrinsic motivation is affected by the level of his/her satisfaction, and this affects his/her attitudes towards technology when this is the only course for enhancing technology in education. The most significant contribution is to the liking of the use of advanced technologies, then to the self-confidence in using technology, and finally to decreasing the anxiety of technology.
