In news writing, there are problems with writing skills that often found in the world of national education. Collaborative, project-based learning models have proven useful for English and news. Therefore this development research aims to create a product model. The Borg & Gall procedure is followed process. Students instructors study program served as subjects. This method results reliable...

This mixed methods study examined the effect of Astronaut Challenge, an immersive, flight-simulation-based learning program, on the collaborative learning process and science knowledge development of high-school students (9 graders). The study findings suggested that simulation-based collaborative learning activities promoted students’ scientific understanding about the dynamics of the space fl...

This paper demonstrates the process of identity formation in the collaborative learning of programming through AlgoArena, which is educational software for learning programming. AlgoArena is a collaborative educational system through which learners can learn programming by participating together in the formation of a community of practice and their identity in it. This paper investigates how a ...

Collaborative learning is one of the many student-centered approaches that matches with the philosophy of contemporary perspectives on learning and teaching aiming to promote higher achievement, more positive interpersonal relationships and greater psychological health. The author attempts to examine if the Web can promote collaborative learning. Thirty-four pre-service student teachers partici...

Desktop multimedia conferencing, when two or more persons can communicate among themselves via personal computers with the opportunity to see and hear one another as well as communicate via text messages while working with commonly available stored resources, appears to have important applications to the support of collaborative learning. In this paper we explore this potential in three ways: (...

A central theme of this chapter is the following: to better understand the role of the teacher within a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environment, it is necessary to better conceptualize the CSCL construct. Toward this goal, this chapter will examine similarities and differences between cooperative and collaborative learning. Next, CSCL will be examined in the context of coop...

Web 2.0 provides social software that is intuitively appealing for supporting collaborative learning. However, as revealed in our pilot case study, simply making Web 2.0 tools available or even mandating their usage does not guarantee that students will use the tools for collaborative learning. Even the use of a framework such as Activity Theory to guide the design of the unit did not ensure co...

Given the critical importance of collaboration in lifelong learning, this paper highlights the need for interventions that help learners develop awareness of the social dimensions of group problem solving and adopt patterns of discourse leading to more successful collaborative learning outcomes. In pursuit of this, I present scaffolds that were piloted on students learning the practice of colla...

Makerspaces are a relatively new phenomenon that seem to create an innovative environment for individuals work on projects and learn about technology. This article presents grounded theory study, which investigates the impact makerspaces have innovation. Strauss Corbin’s methodology is used research this exploratory topic. The data sample consists of 16 interviews members makerspace in Shanghai...

Existing distance learning systems provide collaboration tools (like forum, chat, wiki, etc.) presenting some limits that reduce the effectiveness of such tools from the standpoint of collaborative learning. Accordingly, a conceptual framework is needed that bridges the gap between the interaction forms characterising collaborative learning and existing learning collaboration tools. In this con...
