Web 3.0 tools and collaborative tasks

Abstract

The aim of this study, “Web 3.0 tools and collaborative tasks”, was to investigate how collaborative tasks influence Web 3.0 tools. This research project had a quantitative approach; in addition, it had a bibliographic foundation and was carried out in the field of action with students from Instituto Superior Tecnológico “Francisco de Orellana” (ISTFO) language center in Puyo - Pastaza. The students (24 participants) were assigned to an experimental group. All the students underwent collaborative tasks using Web 3.0 tools. Furthermore, this study aims to determine if collaborative tasks help students to improve their knowledge of the English language through the use of Web 3.0 tools. Kagan's strategies (Three-Step Interview, Round Robin, Timed Round Robin, Pair Sharing, and Team Interview) were used in the teaching plans. Likewise, this study of Web 3.0 tools used (Google Workspace, Canvas, Padlet, Wordwall, Liveworksheets, Nearpod), a survey, and a TAM survey to find out the influence of factors such as perceptions of usefulness and ease in the adoption of technology. To test the hypotheses raised in this study, the t-test was used with Alpha 0.05 at 5%. Similarly, Cronbach's Alpha was used to determine acceptance in the first survey carried out. With all the results obtained, it was shown that the students improved their performance in learning the English language with collaborative tasks and using Web 3.0 tools.
