We are studying on the dynamic teams, their performance, individuals' behavior like participation, and so on. And we built up an applet and invited people to use it for team activity organizing and team management.
Now, we have the results of some causal studies, including theoretical models and validation based on the applet. In the process of paper writing, there is some confusion.
General speaking, we don't know how to name our method and how to develop the 'methodology' of our paper. Hope that someone would provide some help, and it would be better if we are informed some literature with similar methods.
The research method described in the question involves the development of an applet to track and analyze team performance and individual behavior. This method can be classified as a type of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) research, which involves the use of technology to support and enhance learning and teaching processes. Specifically, the method can be classified as a type of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) research, which focuses on how technology can support collaborative learning and knowledge-building activities among learners. In terms of methodology, the research can be described as a mixed-methods study, as it involves both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. The quantitative data collected through the applet can be analyzed using statistical methods to identify patterns and relationships, while the qualitative data can be analyzed using content analysis to identify themes and patterns in the data. Similar research methods can be found in the literature on TEL and CSCL, which often involve the development and use of technology tools to support collaborative learning and knowledge-building activities.
