Subclaims¶

q3 i? The number of chat messages posted is significantly positively influenced by Conscientiousness and Extraversion. → Wen Wu 2019 q3 i? More extraverted students post more messages in the discussion forum. → Wen Wu 2019 (2)

Evidence¶

Wen Wu 2019¶

Wen Wu, Li Chen, Qingchang Yang, You Li. (2019). Inferring Students' Personality from Their Communication Behavior in Web-based Learning Systems. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-018-00173-9

q3 · i? · associational · r1

Multiple linear regression result (Table 4) showing standardized coefficients of 0.254 for Conscientiousness and 0.213 for Extraversion on total chat messages, significant at p<0.01 with Bonferroni adjustment. Only significance reported, no effect size.

"the number of messages students have posted in the chat room is significantly (p< 0.01) positively influenced by Conscientiousness and Extraversion, implying that students who are more self-organized and extraverted are inclined to post more synchronous chat messages."

Wen Wu 2019 (2)¶

Wen Wu, Li Chen, Qingchang Yang, You Li. (2019). Inferring Students' Personality from Their Communication Behavior in Web-based Learning Systems. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-018-00173-9

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Regression result for after-class activity: Extraversion significantly predicts total forum messages (standardized coefficient 0.240, p<0.01). The authors note consistency with prior findings on forum participation.

"students who are more extraverted are inclined to post more messages in the discussion forum, which is basically consistent with the findings in Pavalache-Ilie and Cocorada (2014)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Personality Traits — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Students used the synchronous chat room far more than other communication tools, while discussion forum use was relatively low — related
• Distinct communication-behavior features significantly predict each Big-Five trait, with exclamation marks and after-class activities the strongest Neuroticism predictors — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Conscientiousness is positively related to the number of textual annotation acts — related
• Students' Big-Five personality significantly influences their usage of communication tools in a web-based learning system, with 32 of 120 behavioral features significantly affected — a broader claim this one bears on
• Students communicate more frequently but with lower-quality content in the synchronous chat room than in the asynchronous discussion forum — related
