Direct linkKopp, Birgitta; Mandl, Heinz – Learning and Instruction, 2011
This study examines the manner in which learners' justifications for arguments are supported during collaborative task-solving in a virtual learning setting. In particular, it investigates the effects of a collaboration script and a content scheme on the learners' ability to provide adequate justifications for arguments pertaining to collaborative…

Kirschner, Femke; Paas, Fred; Kirschner, Paul A.; Janssen, Jeroen – Learning and Instruction, 2011
The effectiveness and efficiency of individual versus collaborative learning was investigated as a function of instructional format among 140 high school students in the domain of biology. The instructional format either emphasized worked examples, which needed to be studied or the equivalent problems, which needed to be solved. Because problem…

Schwarz, B. B.; Linchevski, L. – Learning and Instruction, 2007
This paper examines task design that affords deep changes in mathematical thinking in the context of peer interaction. We describe a study in which 60 low-level high-school students solved a proportional reasoning task, the "blocks" task as individuals and/or in dyadic interaction. We show that we could tailor the design of the task in order to…

Peer reviewedLight, Paul; Littleton, Karen; Bale, Stuart; Joiner, Richard; Messer, David – Learning and Instruction, 2000
Studied gender and social comparison effects in computer-based problem solving in studies involving 62 11- and 12-year-olds working in pairs on computers without verbal interaction (co-action) and 96 children working in co-action or interaction pairs. Polarization of sex differences was found in the co-action condition but not the interaction…

Peer reviewedWistedt, Inger; Martinsson, Mats – Learning and Instruction, 1996
A study of interactions among Swedish intermediate-grade students as they solved a nonstandard mathematics task confronting the phenomenon of infinity shows that the children can reach a considerable understanding of the problem by contextualizing the problem in different ways. The collective orchestration of problem variations results in enhanced…

Peer reviewedWyndhamn, Jan; Saljo, Roger – Learning and Instruction, 1997
An experiment involving 14 small groups of Swedish students (usually 3 per group) aged 10, 11, and 12 years shows that these students acting in groups and creating shared contextualizations were able to solve mathematics word problems calling for real-world knowledge. Research has shown students acting alone to have difficulty with the same types…

Peer reviewedMevarech, Z. R., Ed.; Light, P. H., Ed. – Learning and Instruction, 1992
Nine articles discuss research on cooperative learning with computers and how student interactions at the computer facilitate learning. Current research on cooperative learning methods and computer-assisted learning; and microcomputer-based group problem solving, social-cognitive behaviors, higher order thinking, interdependence, autonomy,…
