“…However, the extraction of networks from videos can be challenging. From establishing a reliable coding dictionary that minimizes coder bias, to determining the most informative time stamp for "slicing" the data, to coding what could be hours of videos, this approach requires a lot of time and effort [32].…”

The application of social network analysis (SNA) has recently grown prevalent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education research. Research on classroom networks has led to greater understandings of student persistence in physics majors, changes in their career-related beliefs (e.g., physics interest), and their academic success. In this paper, we aim to provide a practitioner's guide to carrying out research using SNA, including how to develop data collection instruments, setup protocols for gathering data, as well as identify network methodologies relevant to a wide range of research questions beyond what one might find in a typical primer. We illustrate these techniques using student anxiety data from active-learning physics classrooms. We explore the relationship between students' physics anxiety and the social networks they participate in throughout the course of a semester. We find that students' with greater numbers of outgoing interactions are more likely to experience negative anxiety shifts even while we control for pre anxiety, gender, and final course grade. We also explore the evolution of student networks and find that the second half of the semester is a critical period for participating in interactions associated with decreased physics anxiety. Our study further supports the benefits of dynamic group formation strategies that give students an opportunity to interact with as many peers as possible throughout a semester. To complement our guide to SNA in education research, we also provide a set of tools for letting other researchers use this approach in their work -the SNA toolbox -that can be accessed on GitHub.

Within interconnected multicultural communities, information sharing plays a pivotal role in shaping social dynamics and cross-cultural exchange. This study employs a qualitative core-periphery approach to explore information sharing patterns within such ecosystems. Focusing on the core nodes and peripheral nodes, we investigate the dynamics of information flow, influential actors, and community cohesion. A case study involving 75 individuals from 11 nationalities reveals central figures' vital role in facilitating communication. Through in-depth interviews and analysis of online and offline interactions, the research identifies the key actors within the communities’ core-periphery structure. The research continues with qualitative network mapping and explores how information sharing occurs within different cultural groups. The core-periphery structure fosters diversity but can also reinforce information inequality. This research is relevant to approach and apply targeted interventions to a new multicultural communities ecosystem and study the patterns of how they share information to each other.
