Abstract:
The intention of this paper has been to start a process in the teacher’s mind about evaluating quantitatively the degree of handedness of a student and interactive communication. Pedagogy and technology goes hand in hand. Teaching needs new network communication skills, supervision skills etc. might be much more challenging to interact with their students. Technology, especially in communication, has undergone an anthropomorphosis; it has become something alive, something almost supernatural. Based on the research abstracts and websites investigator prepared a conceptual framework incorporating interactive communication and handedness as key determinants of study. Communication, for our purposes, will specially focus on the Internet usage. Within this environment, exists form of speech that serve to help us understand interactive communication patterns. The World Wide Web, like previous technological innovations in the sphere of mass media, is a vessel for communication and, in turn, a vessel of cultural embodiment. The objectives of this study is to verify in an Indian context tor investigate relationships between interactive communication and handedness of college students in Punjab. Social networking platform usage intention for improving the interactive communication and understanding the effect of social networking communication among left handed and right handed male and female students from rural and urban region. Empirical data from 300 participants randomly selected from difference colleges of Punjab were collected using questionnaires on interactive communication and handedness including the additional variables of age, gender and location. Male and female subjects aged from 18 to 30 years old have taken the test. The obtained performance data from these tasks have been computed and analyzed using the t-test and correlation. The proposed degree of handedness and the result of interactive communication did not contradict to each other. The calculated results indicate differences between interactive communication and handedness based on age, gender and location. Additional analyses examined the impact of between interactive communication and handedness on young people's addictive tendencies toward SNWs. These students use the Internet for many hours per week; most utilize it for interpersonal relations than peers who participate in professional communities discussions From these results, it is expected that the proposed method can be useful for detailed and quantitative evaluation of handedness and interactive communication in relation to different pedagogy situations. Results from this study can be used as guidance for education providers to enhance and develop blog and networking platform functions.
