ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to explore how secondary school students’ agency evolves over time across offline and online spaces. We focus on five Facebook groups of teachers and students interacting online in various ways over a period of eighteen months. Combining a variety of innovative analytical techniques and procedures (descriptive statistics, network analysis and discursive analysis) we analyze students’ online posts and interactions in a cultural-historical activity theoretical frame. The findings suggest that students’ agency can evolve from individual agency to collaborative agency by using Facebook groups under certain conditions, which teachers play a key role in establishing.

摘要

本文的目的是探讨中学生的代理机构如何随着时间的推移在离线和在线空间中发展。在18个月的时间里，我们重点关注了五个Facebook师生群体，他们以各种方式在线互动。结合各种创新的分析技术和程序（描述性统计，网络分析和话语分析），我们在文化历史活动理论框架下分析了学生的在线帖子和互动。研究结果表明，通过在一定条件下使用Facebook团体，学生的代理机构可以从个人代理机构发展为合作代理机构，这在教师的建立中起着关键作用。
