| dc.description.abstract | Group discussions are highly interactive teaching methods in today′s educational practices, fostering collaboration and cooperative learning among students. However, the majority of current group discussions often fail to achieve desired learning outcomes. Factors contributing to this issue include the lack of structure during the discussion process, the absence of systematic integration of peer contributions, and the challenge for students to review and revise discussions without summaries or notes. Additionally, teachers struggle to assess students′ learning outcomes after the discussion, hindering their ability to provide further instructional support. To address these challenges, the development of a platform that assists students and teachers in conducting effective group discussions in the classroom is proposed. This platform aims to facilitate orderly and recorded voice interactions during discussions, enable students to summarize and reflect on the discussion content, and provide opportunities for sharing and reviewing summaries and reflections among peers. Furthermore, it enables teachers to listen to individual student voice contributions from each group, and through various visualizations and charts, gain insights into students′ participation and speaking patterns during the group discussion. By leveraging these specific data, the platform has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of group discussions.
In this study, a web-based voice discussion platform is designed to achieve the aforementioned objectives. A questionnaire survey is conducted to assess the platform′s perceived usefulness, ease of use, smoothness of operation, and user willingness. The survey results will provide insights into the requirements of this platform in educational settings. The feedback and improvement suggestions gathered from the survey will guide the continuous enhancement and development of the web-based voice discussion platform in the future. | en_US |
