Torres-Martín, César; Acal, Christian; El-Homrani, Mohammed; Mingorance-Estrada, Ángel C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
The objective has been to know the impact of the flipped classroom methodology on the academic performance of students during their training process in relation to the traditional methodology over time, in order to establish baselines in the academic grades in both models. The research is of a quasi-experimental type of non-equivalent groups, with…

Törmänen, Tiina; Järvenoja, Hanna; Mänty, Kristiina – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
During collaborative learning, affect is constantly present in groups' interactions, influencing and shaping the learning process. The aim of this study was to understand what type of learning situations trigger affective states in collaborative groups, and how these affective states are related to group members' physiological activation. The…

Song, Yanjie – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
The paper reports on an empirical study adopting a mixed research method, aiming at improving primary students' collaborative problem solving competency in project-based learning with productive failure (PF) instructional design in a seamless learning environment. Two Grade Six classes participated in a project-based learning of "Plant…

Kwon, Kyungbin; Shin, Suhkyung; Park, Su Jin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
The current experimental study examined the effects of graphic organizers in a collaborative learning context where students constructed knowledge during online discussions. As the results could vary depending on how students interacted with the graphic organizers, this study compared two different approaches: instructor-provided versus…

Clariana, Roy B.; Engelmann, Tanja; Yu, Wu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
Problem solving likely involves at least two broad stages, problem space representation and then problem solution (Newell and Simon, Human problem solving, 1972). The metric centrality that Freeman ("Social Networks" 1:215-239, 1978) implemented in social network analysis is offered here as a potential measure of both. This development research…

Mulcahy, Robert Sean – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
When a course designed around cooperative, problem-centered instruction attracts learners with a wide range of experience in the topic, should learners be grouped heterogeneously or homogeneously in terms of their relative expertise? In this study, learners were randomly distributed between the two types of groups; learning gains, satisfaction,…

Noroozi, Omid; Busstra, Maria C.; Mulder, Martin; Biemans, Harm J. A.; Tobi, Hilde; Geelen, Anouk; van't Veer, Pieter; Chizari, Mohammad – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
This study used a sequential set-up to investigate the consecutive effects of timing of supportive information presentation (information before vs. information during the learning task clusters) in interactive digital learning materials (IDLMs) and type of collaboration (personal discussion vs. online discussion) in computer-supported…

Sullivan, Florence R.; Hamilton, Claire E.; Allessio, Danielle A.; Boit, Rachel J.; Deschamps, Alexandra D.; Sindelar, Tony; Vargas Ramos, German E.; Randall, Anthony; Wilson, Nicholas; Zhu, Yan – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
In this paper we report the results of a study which investigated the affordances of multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) for collaborative learning from a design perspective. Utilizing a mixed methods approach, we conducted a comparative study of the effect of varying representational and interactional design features on a collaborative design…

Zacharia, Zacharias C.; Xenofontos, Nikoletta A.; Manoli, Constantinos C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of two different cooperative learning approaches, namely, the Jigsaw Cooperative Approach (JCA) and the Traditional Cooperative Approach (TCA), on students' learning and practices/actions within the context of a WebQuest science investigation. Another goal of this study was to identify possible…

Doymus, Kemal; Karacop, Ataman; Simsek, Umit – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
This study investigated the effect of jigsaw cooperative learning and animation versus traditional teaching methods on students' understanding of electrochemistry in a first-year general chemistry course. This study was carried out in three different classes in the department of primary science education during the 2007-2008 academic year. The…

Tutty, Jeremy I.; Klein, James D. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
This study investigated the effects of collaboration mode and group composition during a computer-mediated collaborative (CMC) program. Six intact sections of a computer literacy course were assigned to either a face-to-face or a virtual, online collaboration treatment condition. Groups consisted of homogeneous lower-ability, homogeneous…
