The study investigated the participants responses, perceptions and feelings while and after engaging in blogging, and providing and receiving comments. A class of 30 ESL students participated in this study. Topics were given every week for eight consecutive weeks. Participants were free to log on to the blogs. Data from the blog content and self assessment rubrics were collected concurrently with the study. At the end of the study, participants answered questionnaire. Semi-structure interviews were conducted. Data were coded with initial coding, followed by focused coding. Data from the four sources were triangulated. Three major themes emerged from the study. Firstly, based on the number of entries, it is found that blogging motivated the majority of the participants to voice out their opinions. Secondly, comments in blogging serve important roles to the participants. Thirdly, participants learned new knowledge and skills through blogging. The findings suggested that blogging could be an effective tool for student teachers to express, share and disseminate ideas on various current issues that could be incorporated in classroom teaching and learning. 2010 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=544 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=544 text zsm N/A openAccess Masters Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Bahasa dan Komunikasi N/A |
