Table 1 Description of network measures used in the study, along with their mathematical equations.
Measure | Description | Equation |
---|---|---|
Weighted in-degree (In-strength) | Sum of all weights of edges directed to a student, equivalent to the total received cooperation by a student. | \({I}_{s}=\mathop{\sum }\nolimits_{i = 1}^{n}{w}_{is}\) |
Weighted out-degree (Out-strength) | Sum of all weights of edges directed from a student to all other classmates, equivalent to the total sent cooperation by a student. | \({O}_{s}=\mathop{\sum }\nolimits_{j = 1}^{n}{w}_{sj}\) |
