Action Research for Collective Intelligence-Based Instruction Using Blog and Wiki in Higher Education

Kim Do Heon

This study was to explore the possibilities of blog and wiki based instruction for facilitating students’ collective intelligence in a higher education context. A qualitative method based action research was conducted to understand students’ experiences and pursue instructiona implications of using blog as a reflective tool and wiki as a collaborative tool. The participant students were required to write reflective journals on their blog spaces and create collaborative reports using wiki software. The data were collected from in-depth interviews with students, content analysis about their writings, artifacts, and reports, and observation on their group activities. The results describe the possibilities of collective intelligence based instruction through integrative utilization of blog and wiki. The possibilities were discussed with six themes: 1) a feeling of pressure from unfamiliar tool and adaptation process, 2) blogging as a personalized reflective learning: independence, diversity, and ownership, 3) creative jointactivities: openness and shared ownership, 4) connection between reflection and collaboration, 5) social learning through reading and observation, 6) emergence of collaborative creativities. Also, some dilemma in implementing blog and wiki based instruction were discussed with three themes: 1) voluntary contribution vs. required task, 2) classified ownership: small contributors vs. large observers, 3) evaluation: final product vs. participatory trajectories. Finally, some reflections and implications for collective intelligence based instruction were discussed from the research results.
