CHAPTER I
RESEARCH PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
In traditional classrooms, thus it is believed that teachers can give students
immediate face-to-face feedback. Thus, personalized feedback has a positive
impact on students, as it makes learning processes easier, richer, and more
significant, all the while raising the motivation levels of the students.
Meanwhile Gill et al.(2013) identify blogs as one of the most
useful media for personally expressing views on current issues and
encourages individuals to start a blog with the purpose of sharing their online
reader. From an education point of view, the motivational use of blogs in
academic contexts by moving the class out of the classroom and conducting
discussion forums is considered crucial to promote communication and
reflection among students (Halic et al. 2014).
Concurrently, EduBlog is an example of a blog site that may
assist the users with the information that they need. In these circumstances,
student’ motivation can be reflected in levels of active participation through
networking practices and development of communication skills.

3
However, making a blog is too complicated; thus, bloggers
sometimes produce articles that are insignificant. For instance, poor blog
writing can lead to misunderstandings. Many students and teachers use blogs
to expand their knowledge but on the other hand some of them
misunderstood the information given by blogs. Edublog has tremendous
educational potential but users should be aware of their downside.
Thus, this research is conducted. This paper focuses on the analysis
of EduBlogs as a tool in the teaching learning process in the senior high
context. The impacts and importance of the website in and outside the
classroom will be discussed, too.

Review of Related Literature
Research literature
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
A blog made specifically for education is known as an edublog. Edublogs
serve as learning archives and enhance teacher and student learning by
encouraging self- and other-reflection, teamwork, and settings for higher-
order thinking.
This tool is useful for more than just teaching students how to blog. It may be
used to create portfolios, manage project progress, write lab reports, or
create newsletters. Edublogs can be used to any subject matter.

10
Also, it offers students the chance to work together on poetry, different writing
assignments, or reading. Students might initially reply to the material by
sharing their ideas, emotions, connections, and questions. Other pupils would
have the chance to comment to others' replies. This would spark discussion
among the students and help them hone their analytical and critical thinking
abilities.
According to (Yue & Brooks, 2007) Blogging may be seen as a flexible tool
that improves the learning methods used in large-cohort university instruction.
However, this is not free some negative due to its mandatory nature of task
and requirements of more explicit direction and validation in the writing of
students own academic Blog. (Hourigan & Murray, 2010)
Based on (Edwards, 2023) The advantage of Edublog over websites like
Wordpress include levels of control that offer more protection for student data
and simpler instructor monitoring. This is widely available across platforms
and is accessible as an app and as a web-based service. Because of this,
students may be able to update their blogs whenever they want outside of
class using their own devices in addition to working on them in class.
STUDENTS AND INSTRUCTORS

11
Prospective students and new instructors can use the EduBlog as an
accurate overview of the course. The Students might be inspired to read
more and encouraged to strengthen their morals by using EduBlog. Blogs
might be used to highlight the range of learning styles and personal
preferences in the classroom. Additionally, For both instructors and students,
EduBlog offers a number of benefits. Some advantages include the ease with
which a class website may be quickly and easily created, the encouragement
of class involvement and debate, the availability of a forum for student
expression and information sharing, and the ease with which it can be
done.Blogging is an excellent way for learners to communicate with one
another in a socially.
USE OF EDUCATIONAL BLOG
based context through technology (Lamonica, 2010, p. 5). Using blogs makes
learners’ writing more participatory and more focused on everyday language
use (Penrod, 2007; Boling, 2008; Higginson, 2009; Stanley, 2013). Research
studies reveal that blogs play a considerable role in improving learner
reflection, classroom dialogue and social networking (Ray & Hocutt, 2006;
Khourey-Brown, 2005; Efimova & de Moor, 2005). Furthermore, Blogs also
enhance the writing skills of elementary, intermediate and secondary school
students (Glewa & Bogan, 2007; Lomicky & Hossain, 2008).

12
(Pahl & Rowsell, 2005). According to sociocultural theory, literacy is as a
socially based practice and is mediated by a person’s culture (Larson &
Marsh, 2005). It can be enhanced through dialogue, discussion and
storytelling. This creates self-expression and helps students discuss their
ideas and then put them in writing either individually, in pairs or in a group. In
this sense, blogging per se is not technology; rather, it is literacy, which
underscores the strengths of authentic writing. Collaborative writing becomes
a key issue at school that students should be engaged in (Boling et al., 2008).
Unlike traditional methods of teaching writing skills, blogging introduces
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
students to conversation, interaction, communication and debate before the
actual writing stage. Therefore, Many teachers unfortunately limit themselves
to using a paper-and-pencil method to teach a writing class, but this often
seems desultory (Barone & Wright, 2008). Blogging also gives students a
personal purpose that makes writing more engaging than the academic
critical thinking adopted by most curricula (Boling, 2008)
UNDERSTANDING THE USE OF EDUBLOG BY THE STUDENTS

13
Edublogs are educational blogs that are specifically designed for students
and educators to share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences related to
learning. Research has shown that there are several positive ways in which
students can use edublogs to enhance their learning experiences.
Firstly, edublogs provide students with a platform to reflect on their learning.
According to Elsayed and aware, and improve their writing abilities. By writing
reflective posts on their edublogs, students can Strutton (2015), reflective
writing helps students to develop critical thinking skills, become more self-
articulate their thoughts and reflect on their learning experiences.
Secondly, edublogs allow students to collaborate with their peers. According
to Akcaoglu and Bowman (2016), blogging can be used to facilitate
communication and collaboration among students. By commenting on each
other’s posts, students can share their ideas, ask questions, and provide
feedback, thereby creating a collaborative learning environment.
Thirdly, edublogs can be used to showcase student work. According to Hsu
(2015), edublogs can serve as a portfolio of student work, providing students
with a platform to showcase their achievements and progress over time. This
can help to motivate students to take ownership of their learning and strive for
excellence.
14
Fourthly, edublogs can help students develop digital literacy skills. According
to Chen and Huang (2014), blogging can help students develop skills in
digital communication, online collaboration, and media production. By using
edublogs, students can learn how to create and publish digital content, and
engage with online communities in a safe and responsible manner.
Finally, edublogs can be used to promote active learning. According to Liu
and Liu (2015), blogging can help to promote active learning by encouraging
students to take responsibility for their own learning, engage with course
materials, and share their insights with their peers. By using edublogs,
students can become more actively engaged in their learning and develop a
deeper understanding of the course material.
In conclusion, edublogs offer several positive benefits for students, including
providing a platform for reflection, collaboration, showcasing student work,
developing digital literacy skills, and promoting active learning. These benefits
suggest that edublogs can be a valuable tool for educators seeking to
enhance student learning experiences.
This chapter presents the review of related literature and studies after
thorough and in-depth search done by the researchers.

Synthesis
An edublog is a blog created especially for educational purposes. Edublogs
act as learning archives and improve teacher and student learning by
promoting mutual reflection, teamwork, and environments that foster higher-
order thinking (Martin & Shanna , 2020)This resource can be used for more
than just instructing kids on how to blog. It can be used to make portfolios,
track the advancement of projects, write lab reports, or make newsletters.
Any subject matter is appropriate for edublogs. Additionally, it gives Students
the opportunity to collaborate on poetry, various writing assignments, or
reading. In their early responses to the material, students may share their
thoughts, feelings, connections, and inquiries. Other students would be given
the opportunity to remark on others' responses. The students' analytical skills
would be strengthened and conversation would be sparked.
(Yue & Brooks, EduBlog Its feature, 2008) blogging may be viewed as a versatile
instrument that enhances the teaching strategies utilized in university
instruction for big cohorts. Due to the necessary character of the assignment
and the need for clearer guidance and validation in the creation of students'
own academic blogs, this is not without some drawbacks. (Hourigan &
Murray, 2010)
16
According to (Edwards, 2023) Edublog has certain advantages over websites
like Wordpress, including as control settings that provide greater privacy for
student data and easier teacher monitoring. This is generally accessible
across platforms and is provided as a web-based service and an app. As a
result, in addition to working in class, students may be able to update their
blogs anytime they wish using their own devices outside of class.
The EduBlog provides a thorough description of the course for both new
teachers and prospective students. By using EduBlog, the students could be
motivated to read more and urged to improve their values. The variety of
learning styles and personal preferences in the classroom may be highlighted
through blogs. EduBlog also provides a variety of advantages for instructors
and students. The simplicity with which a class website can be quickly and
easily created, the encouragement of class participation and debate, the
availability of a forum for student expression and information sharing, and the
ease with which it can be done are a few benefits.

recordings, and interactive elements to enhance their blog posts and
communicate their ideas effectively. By using different media formats,
students can cater to diverse learning styles and engage their peers in
a more interactive manner. This fosters creativity, digital literacy, and

35
technological proficiency, skills that are highly valuable in today's digital
age.
Edublogs also promote collaboration and interaction among students.
By enabling comments and discussions on blog posts, students can
engage in meaningful conversations, provide feedback to their peers,
and learn from different perspectives. This collaborative aspect
encourages active participation and develops important social skills,
such as empathy, respect, and effective communication. Additionally,
edublogs can connect students with a broader audience, including
parents, other students, and experts in various fields, further enriching
the learning experience and instilling a sense of pride and
accomplishment in students as they realize the impact their work can
have on others.
Overall, edublogs foster enhanced engagement in education by
providing students with a platform for self-expression, incorporating
multimedia content, and promoting collaboration and interaction. By
leveraging the power of technology and encouraging active
participation, edublogs create a dynamic learning environment that
inspires students to explore, reflect, create, and connect with others.

36
According to Chen and Huang (2014), blogging can help students
develop skills in digital communication, online collaboration, and media
production. By using edublogs, students can learn how to create and
publish digital content, and engage with online communities in a safe
and responsible manner.
4.3.1 Knowledge Sharing

and expertise among individuals or groups to enhance collective
understanding and capabilities. It plays a crucial role in fostering
learning, problem-solving, and innovation. By sharing knowledge,
individuals can benefit from each other's experiences, insights, and
expertise, avoiding the need to reinvent the wheel and building upon
existing knowledge. It promotes collaboration and strengthens
relationships, as individuals work together towards a common goal,
contributing their unique perspectives and knowledge. Knowledge
sharing is particularly important in educational settings, where teachers
share their knowledge with students, and students engage in
discussions and peer learning to deepen their understanding of the
subject matter.
37
By sharing valuable information, my group members can learn from
each other, expand their understanding, and enhance their overall
knowledge base. This collective knowledge can lead to improved
performance and problem-solving within the group.

participation among learners, enabling them to interact with the content,
their peers, and instructors. It goes beyond passive listening or reading
and encourages students to ask questions, engage in discussions,
collaborate, and apply their knowledge. Interactive learning fosters
deeper understanding, critical thinking, and the development of
problem-solving skills. It also enhances motivation and enjoyment, as
students are actively involved in the learning process and have
opportunities to explore and discover concepts on their own.

every learner feels welcomed, valued, and supported. It acknowledges
and respects the diversity of learners, including their individual
strengths, backgrounds, and learning styles. Inclusive practices involve
adapting teaching methods, materials, and assessments to meet the

needs of diverse learners. It encourages collaboration, cooperation, and
empathy among students. An inclusive environment promotes equal
access to learning opportunities, supports differentiated instruction, and
fosters a sense of belonging and positive social interactions among all
learners.
