摘要

创建于2009年的Whatsapp平台是一个移动消息应用程序,允许用户交换消息而无需支付短信费用。它还使通信和多媒体信息的分发更容易和更快地使用互联网连接。因此,本研究调查了Whatsapp群组在促进尼日利亚博尔诺州迈杜古里大学本科生学习、社会互动和民主方面的潜力。本研究有三个目标和三个相应的研究问题。本研究采用定性设计。这些人包括为成人教育项目的本科阶段组建的所有四个Whatsapp群。在这四个Whatsapp群组中,有两个被选为研究对象。研究中选择的两组是2017/2018学年的300级和400级学生。300级组成员为97人,400级组成员为103人。这样总共有200人。根据本研究提出的研究目标,选取各层次男女生各3人在群平台上发布的信息文本、支持性图片、音频、视频、文档文件等内容,通过专家意见进行分析。员额的可靠性是在与实地事实交叉核对后确定的,以确保只使用一致的数据进行分析。本研究的分析仅采用叙事方式。研究结果表明,2017/2018年300级和400级本科成人教育学生使用的Whatsapp群,极大地促进了他们的学习、社交和民主实践。研究得出结论,Whatsapp群是成人教育本科学生非常重要的平台。因此,报告建议,班级代表应该合作,并将他们的各种课程讲师添加到他们的小组中,这样他们就可以帮助他们澄清他们在课堂上不理解的某些概念或问题。
