Computer Supported Collaborative Learning in a Geologic Simulation Otto Borchert Master of Science Thesis Defense March 10, 2008

What is the Geology Explorer? Planet opposite the sun Need geologists! Pre-assessment (Are you good enough to go?)‏ Identify rocks and minerals Create a geologic map Postassessment (Debriefing)‏

Individualistic Behavior

What has been added?

Thesis Question Can we implement collaborative exercises on the Geology Explorer in such a way that it increases learning gains? Let's look at some examples of working collaborative efforts, both off-line and on-line

Offline Methods Jigsaw Student Teams – Achievement Divisions Group Investigation

Jigsaw Aronson (1978)‏ Divide a project into pieces 1) Introduction 2) Focused Exploration 3) Reporting and Reshaping 4) Integration and Evaluation

STAD Student Teams – Achievement Divisions John Hopkins University Heterogeneous groups Learn topic as a team Take quiz on completion Awards for milestone completion

Group Investigation Sharan and Sharan (1994)‏ Similar to Jigsaw Students take charge of their own learning

Online Methods - CSCL Computer Supported Intentional Learning Environment Fifth Dimension Electronic Network for Interaction

CSILE Computer Supported Intentional Learning Environment Develop a body of knowledge

5th Dimension Method of organizing after-school activities Both online and offline, educational and entertainment Everyone works together Students Researchers Professors Community

ENFI Electronic Network For Interaction Gallaudet University in 1985 Collaborative writing for hearing impaired

Advantages and Disadvantages Increases academic skills Easier to root out misconceptions Provide collaborative work skills Sum is greater than parts Develop social skills Strengthen inter-group relations Groupthink Polling problem Cohesion problems

Group Composition Random Teams Interest Groups Heterogeneous

PIES Principles Positive Interdependence Individual Accountability Equal Participation Simultaneous Interaction

Three Types of Group Interaction Cooperation Competition Individualistic

Individualism vs. Cooperation Informal or no cooperation Each person finds their own mineral Each person gets their own map Software supported collaboration Work as a team to find minerals Work on the map collaboratively

Experiment Fall 2006 Required assignment for 401 students 224 solo players, 177 group players in groups of two Similar goal set Assessment Content Questions Completion Rates Scenario Data Miscellaneous Results

Results – Content Questions

Results – Completion Rates

Results – Scenarios

Results – Miscellaneous “I liked the opportunity to become more familiar with certain minerals” “i disliked everything about this game” Unintended side effects: Competition between members

Future Directions Implement in other IVEs Compare group/solo learning styles Communication studies Enhancements Voice & Video 3D

Conclusion Formal collaboration added to Geology Explorer including group formation, communication, and goals. Experimentally tested Can we implement collaborative exercises on the Geology Explorer in such a way that it increases learning gains? Yes!
