Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the interactions in a Web 2.0 platform of teachers from 60 schools integrating the Kelluwen network. This network is a part of a project aimed to introduce the Web 2.0 as a pedagogical tool for the development of socio-communicative skills in middle school students from Southern Chile. Clustering analysis was performed to understand the behavior of teachers in the network. The results allow us to distinguish two major groups. One characterized with a longer execution time of pedagogical activities -compared with the mean case- and the other one characterized by rating participation of their colleagues more frequently.

The Kelluwen network is supported by a Social Web collaborative learning platform which contains meaningful information enclosed in their system dynamics. In this work we performed initial cluster analyses using the teacher interactions in the platform to characterize their behavior. The results in both analyses show a major group of teachers more or less homogeneous and two secondary groups with some key features. One of them characterized with a longer execution time of didactical activities -compared with the mean case-, and the other one characterized by rating participation of their colleagues more frequently. Furthermore in the principal component plane, both features are represented as orthogonal. This finding allow us to hypothesize that the more the teacher uses the Web 2.0 services of the Kelluwen platform, the more regular is her behavior executing the didactical design.
