As the use of digital resources continues to expand in education, data collected by these educational technologies has also greatly facilitated the application of network analysis to teaching and learning. As summarized in this Introductory Presentation, the SNA modules are designed to prepare STEM education researchers and practitioners to apply network analysis in order to better understand and improve student learning and the contexts in which learning occurs. The presentations, readings, and case studies for each lab will provide scholars with an overview of social network theory, examples of network analysis in STEM educational contexts, and applied experience with widely adopted tools and techniques. SNA Module 1: Network Analysis for Newbies as summarized in our Overview Presentation is a gentle introduction to data collection, management and visualization. The focus of our Essential Readings and case study in this lab is to help LASER Scholars gain a general understanding of key SNA concepts and terminology, as well as develop a basic comfort level with representing networks visually. Our SNA Case Study: Who's Friends with Who in Middle School is guided by the work","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/laser-institute","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/laser-institute/network-analysis/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
