ABSTRACT

This paper presents an analysis of a hundred and one handwritten essays by master students in Informatics. The students reflected on their experiences of working with pen and paper for reading and writing as a mandatory assignment for the duration of a five-week intensive course. Taking an inductive approach, reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify patterns of meaning across the full dataset. The essays elicited insightful student reflections on learning, knowing, and being. One overarching theme, New connections, and four sub-theses were identified: Handwriting as note making, Being present for learning, Freedom to think, and Materiality of reading and writing. This study contributes to an improved understanding of the affordances of paper and laptops in the lecture room, based on a student-centred approach, and reflects on how student perspectives can be implemented during lectures.

摘要

本文对信息学硕士研究生的一百一十篇手写论文进行了分析。学生们反思了他们在为期五周的强化课程期间使用笔和纸进行读写的经验，并将其作为必修课。采用归纳法，使用反思性主题分析来确定整个数据集中的意义模式。论文引起学生对学习，知识和存在的深刻见解。确定了一个总体主题，“新关系”和四个子主题：手写作为笔记，在场学习，思考的自由以及阅读和写作的重要性。这项研究基于以学生为中心的方法，有助于增进对教室里纸和笔记本电脑功能的了解，
