Research title: Students' study habits, collaboration, and the role of of technology enhancement in the quality of learning
Research Summary
I am a PhD student based at the University of Glasgow conducting a research project into doctoral students’ perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks of technology during their studies. This project concerns how students engage with technology to progress with their research study. I am interested in how technology contributes to effective communication with other members of the academic community; how students perceive both the beneficial and non-beneficial uses of technology, how these relate to their own patterns of technology use and what activities differentiate productive from unproductive work. I will be employing focus groups, interviews and survey methodology.
There is currently an online survey running. This can be reached on the link below
Invitations to complete this are being sent to postgraduate students throughout the UK and it is anticipated that completing the survey will help them in their use of technology in their learning and provide an opportunity for them to reflect on how technology shapes the work they are doing as part of their own PhD.
Further information about the project can be obtained on the project website
