Team has been widely applied in various fields, in which the collaboration efficiency of a team is the main consideration under the constraints of skill requirements. In educational scenarios, an educational institution usually builds a team of students with different skills to attend a competition, in which team communication cost and team…

Background: Collaborative learning offers benefits, but its potential is often undermined by motivational challenges. This study uses the situated expectancy-value theory to explore how students' expectancies for success relate to group-level regulation of learning during collaborative interactions. The study considers success expectancies both as…

Group awareness tools have garnered significant interest within the realm of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), as they foster collaborative learning behaviors. However, in the context of a CSCL environment devoid of rich technologies, supporting group awareness is challenging. Contextualized in a teacher professional development…

Background: Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments are hypothesised to offer a learning environment that satisfies basic psychological needs for autonomy, relatedness and competence, subsequently improving learning and motivational outcomes. However, the underlying mechanism of how basic psychological needs are fulfilled…

This study is based on the hypothesis that group cohesion and efficacy have significant effects on the academic performance of individuals in online (virtual) education environments no less than in-person education environments. To that end, this study explores the effectiveness of group activities in a virtual classroom environment using VC…

Incorporating non-verbal data streams is essential to understanding the dynamics of interaction within collaborative learning environments in which a variety of verbal and non-verbal modes of communication intersect. However, the complexity of non-verbal data -- especially gathered in the wild from collaborative learning contexts -- demands…

Blended collaborative learning has emerged as an effective pedagogical model that integrates face-to-face and online learning environments, offering a dynamic platform for deep learning--characterized by critical thinking, knowledge synthesis, and application. However, existing research offers mixed findings on how blended collaborative learning…

Grouping of people and/or things in school can involve challenging pedagogical problems and is a recurrent issue in research literature. Grouping of pupils sometimes aids learning, but detailed video-based analysis of how teachers (and pupils) group or ungroup (termed '(un)grouping') in classrooms is rare. This multimodal classroom interaction…

Talent development environments are usually group-based, meaning athletes comprise each other's learning context. Consequently, athletes' ability to learn with and from each other is essential. This implies that there is a key role for coaches to play in cultivating reciprocal, cooperative athletes and creating talent environments in which…

Group diversity is an active topic in research as studies examine how differences in background, culture, job position, gender, and ethnicity can all impact group creativity. One relatively overlooked component is how diversity in academic knowledge affects group and individual creativity. In this study, 56 graduate students from a research…

Online collaborative learning has the potential to help learners of all cultures and languages in the artificial intelligence (AI) age. However, studies on the use of human-AI collaboration to promote online collaborative learning are lacking. This study attempts to fill this gap by examining the effects of three approaches to human-AI…

With the advent of healthcare globalization, interprofessional collaboration has become increasingly important on an international scale. This longitudinal study evaluated group dynamics in the "International Collaboration and Exchange Program," a global online program of students across 33 universities from diverse healthcare…

Today's students must excel in collaboration and communication to succeed, particularly in science education. Preliminary observations revealed that Acehnese students exhibited poor teamwork and communication skills. Socio-scientific issues can enhance these competencies when integrated into science teaching. This study used the "Tarek…

Background: Computer-mediated writing classes have experienced a significant increase in popularity in recent years, serving as an effective modality for enhancing writing skills within an online framework. Objectives: This study seeks to bridge the gap in the literature by investigating the effectiveness of cognitive, social, and group-awareness…

Background: Even among women who persist in the gender-imbalanced engineering fields, women on engineering design teams tend to take on non-technical roles. Understanding the mechanisms that inform this phenomenon is important for encouraging more women in STEM in order to close the gender gap. Although factors such as self-efficacy, task…
