Collaborative Learning Protocols: Writing-To-Learn in Networked and Face-To-Face Environments
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: In this study, we explored the potential of enriching a wellworking individual writing-to-learn approach in a face-to-face setting and a net-mediated setting.Thirty-six undergraduate psychology students worked in dyads on a common learning protocol in each of these settings.Effects on the collaboration process and on strategy use in the learning protocols were assessed.Participants evaluated the ftf-setting to be both more effective and efficient to reach their individual learning goals.Cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies were used more often, and more effectively, in the ftf-setting, what was attributed to a richer mutual strategic support.The results suggest instructional procedures in order to improve communication and interaction as well as to encourage learners to a more productive use of existing tools and techniques.
