Gender differences in self-efficacy relating to collaborative learning in a 3D virtual world

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper reports the findings of an empirical study involving 257 participants into the effects on self-efficacy resulting from the use of a 3D virtual world for communication and collaboration. Participants used the virtual world as part of team-based formal learning in tertiary education. The results suggest that use of the virtual world had a significant effect in
enhancing self-efficacy in a range of collaborative tasks, and that in relation to gender there was no significant difference between male and female participants.
