| dc.description.abstract | In the current exam-oriented learning environment, most students only care themselves for learning better, they seldom help others. Teachers also design less activity based on altruism. Therefore, it is hard to rise an altruistic atmosphere in the classroom. With the rise of social networking sites, we found that users will share information for each other in the same group. Those are not entirely only for themselves, but also help others.
In the view of this, the study proposed a social e-learning networking sites toward the altruism. It presented students’ learning outcomes in the class by a grouping way. There is the effects of learning and self-reflection among students through observing others’ learning outcomes on sites after school. Compared to other social networking sites, we follow teaching design by teachers and system-design have the concept of classroom management. Through altruistic mechanism on the site, students enhance the altruistic atmosphere in the classroom.
The altruistic site is introduced to one of the primary school locally and used in formal curriculum of English as a second language for a whole year. Teaching activities are divided into learning cinema, audio comic and observation on altruistic site. Students produced learning outcomes in the classroom through learning cinema and audio comic activities, and then observed others’ learning outcomes after school on the altruistic site.
According to the participated teacher, they pointed out that students have a positive effects on learning through observational learning on the altruistic site. Besides that, it enhanced altruistic atmosphere in the same group effectively and students also have the initiative to help other students form different group by altruistic mechanism on altruistic site.
However, according to the participated students, they show less lively on altruistic site because they spent most of time on playing game after school. Therefore, the altruistic site may require more management strategies to maintain student’s long-term use.
