Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the use of threaded discussions in the blog environment in terms of the factors affecting student course satisfaction. Experimental and control groups were selected, and the students in the experimental group participated in threaded discussions in the blog environment. In the study, students in both groups were asked to share, in the blog environment, their course materials and reports about the subjects included in the course. The experimental group was asked to participate in asynchronous threaded discussions, and feedback about the quality of their participation was rapidly provided by the researchers. The data, collected before and after the experiment, were distributed online. According to the findings, the effect of threaded discussions on students’ beliefs about blogs and peer review was not significant, and perceived learning, sense of community, collaborative learning, and threaded discussion were the variables that predicted course satisfaction. The students’ satisfaction scores were not affected by their beliefs about blogs, peer review, and their ability to organize multimedia features.
