Proposed Model for Social and Collaborative Social Network of Positive Reinforcement: Positive Reinforcement Online Social Network: PRSN

Abstract

In the last years, online social networks (ONSs, online social networks) have grown to become one of the major medias for human beings on the Internet by having a wide distribution and acceptance by users. One of the critical aspects of developing this type of systems is the user interface. For this reason, a modelbased approach is used to allow us collect interaction and collaboration aspects of social networks. Moreover, this paper based on ONSs and model-driven development provides a first approximation of social and collaborative model of a new online social network, which we have called PRSN (Positive Reinforcement Online Social Network).

Analysis of Online Social Interactions Based on Positive Reinforcement Social Networks in a K–12 Geometry Class

“…Indisputably, most students use online social networks. For example, a study conducted by [3] already showed that 88% of students used online social networks. A total of 282 K-12 students aged 12 to 18 years participated in that study.…”

“…A widely accepted definition of a social network site (SNS) is the following: "Platform which allows users to share content, interact and create communities of similar interests" [9]. A positive reinforcement social network (PRSN) is defined in [3] as a social network which allows users to interact with each other and their environment, receiving a reward based on the type and number of actions performed/tracked through/by the system.…”

“…The main objective of this study is to analyze online social interactions on PRSNs in order to find out if it has a positive impact on classroom participation and students' self-perceptions of their own social skills. To this end, we have implemented BeingExample as a new educational tool based on PRSN concepts [3], that has been assessed in a real educational setting.…”
