This study explores students' perspectives on the integration of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Blended Learning (BL) in a collaborative course environment. By examining a cohort of undergraduate students across two interdisciplinary courses, the research aims to understand how these pedagogical approaches influence student collaboration,…

Purpose: This paper is focused on team learning, the fourth discipline proposed by Senge (1990) in his seminal book "The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization." This paper aims to provide a reflection upon the journey that this construct has made since this book's publication, in terms of conceptualization,…

In socially shared regulation of learning, adaptation is a key process for overcoming collaborative learning challenges. Monitoring the learning process allows learners to recognize the situations that require a need to change, revise, or optimize the current learning process. This can be done through adapting their strategies, task perception,…

This article calls for a revolution among education institutions to make a shift away from the outdated hierarchical models of "teacher" and "student" and toward a culture that embraces the notion of a "co-learning ecosystem." This shift aims to disrupt the long-established power structures within education…

The aim of this study; The aim of this study is to determine the effect of applying the cooperative learning method together with structured materials in coding workshops on the basic skill levels of preschool students and to evaluate them together with the opinions of teachers and parents. A quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control…

Programming skills have gained increasing attention in recent years because digital technologies have become an indispensable part of life. However, little is known about the roles of fade-in and fade-out scaffolding in online collaborative programming settings. To close this research gap, the present study aims to examine the roles of fade-in and…

This study explores whether soft skills can be developed through students' participation in collaborative learning projects in entry level accounting courses without sacrificing time allotted to the coverage of technical content. Results indicate that after emphasizing technical competencies throughout the semester, capstone group projects…

A semester-long group project implementing service-learning was designed and executed in the first semester of a two-semester-long biochemistry lecture sequence. The project required students to partner with the local public library to design and implement an interactive demonstration, either in person or in virtual format, for young children who…

The purpose of this study was to examine the intersections of experiential learning and critical reflection within the unique context of the Accademia Europea dell'Opera (AEDO), a music performance summer program specializing in opera. Researchers explored the development and implementation of a responsive model of reflection and considered the…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of embedding cooperative learning (CL) into the Primary and Secondary Education Course (PSEC) on the academic achievement of undergraduate university students. The study also sought to gauge the perceptions of these students application of CL. Design/methodology/approach: This was a mixed…

This article reports findings from a study to investigate the efficacy beliefs, experiences, and instructional practices of pre-kindergarten (pre-k) teachers from a high-need district who engaged in collaborative professional learning experiences provided by a partner university. The study also examined language and literacy instruction for…

The benefits of paired learning, rather than individual learning, have been pointed by several studies. Although "Chevruta," which has been essential in Jewish education for centuries, is arguably the original form of long-term paired learning, little empirical research has focused on exploring its components and consequences. In the…

This research aims to reveal the trend in peer instruction that many researchers around the world have been working on for over 20 years. In this context, 58 papers published in journals indexed in SSCI were examined in terms of different variables (e.g., research methods, courses, and response technologies). The bibliometric results showed that…

We focus on students' mathematical reasoning in a technology-enhanced collaborative learning environment. We adopt a dialogical approach to analyze students' mathematical reasoning. The participants of this study include six middle school students. The data consist of participants' written productions, dynamic materials, and the transcriptions of…

In mathematics classrooms, educators encourage both creativity and collaboration. In the current study we investigated the dialogical moves that made up the interactions of three groups of post high-school students who worked on an open-ended mathematics task. The aim of this study was to characterize collective strategic pathways that can lead to…
