Orchestrating Learning Together and Development of Team-Trust in Neurologically Typical and Neurologically Atypical Students: A Multicase Study

Contribution: This multicase study compares computer orchestrated learning together (COLT) and student (SOLT) in cooperatively preparing first year university students for collaborative activities. COLT using group environment (COGLE) was perceived efficient, effective, inclusive team effectiveness as it helps build domain knowledge trust between neurologically typical (NT) and/or atypical (NAT) teammates. confirms existing identifies two new antecedents trust, namely, resolving cognitive conflicts real-time updates to knowledge. xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Background: Industrial organizational psychology literature links effective teamworking with trust. Building within a short period can be challenging, particular mixed teams of NT NAT students. Facilitating teamwork resource hungry. Educational studies on are therefore rare. xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Research Questions: investigates how orchestration affects by asking: 1) does affect acquisition students? 2) the development xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Methodology: Both qualitative quantitative data were captured at multiple points (literal theoretical replication) cases. Case summaries cross-case analysis provided further methodological triangulation needed analytical generalization. Findings: COGLE’s scaffolding nonsocial prompts cooperation, shared goal orientation, monitoring, working not only helped learn but also develop team-trust quickly. Delayed interactions, low team-trust, clique formation seen SOLT teams.
