A longitudinal analysis of the behavioural patterns in teachers using blogs for knowledge interactions

A longitudinal analysis of the behavioral patterns in teachers using blogs for knowledge interactions is presented. This study analyzed the 107 blogs with the following indicators to explore behavioral patterns: number of articles posted, frequency of one responding to one's own articles, frequency of others responding to one's own articles, frequency of one responding to others' articles, frequency of one leaving messages on one's own message board, frequency of others leaving messages on one's message board and frequency of one leaving messages on others' message boards. There is only one teacher in group C (0.9%) whose number of articles was in the range between those of the two other groups. However, 96% of the articles by this teacher were responded to by others, and many messages were left on the message board.
