    Effects of Guided Collaboration on Sixth Graders' Performance in Logo Programming
    (IEEE, 2007-10-10) Lin, Janet Mei-Chuen; Li, Yun-Lung; Ho, Rong-Guey; Li, Chia-Chen
    In this study we investigated whether guided collaboration would enhance elementary school students' achievement in learning to program in MSWLogo. Ninty- four sixth graders were randomly assigned to the individual-learning group, the free-collaboration group or the guided-collaboration group. All students were taught to follow the problem-solving steps of analysis, design, coding, debugging, and reflection, but only students of the guided-collaboration group were provided a worksheet that aimed to force students to carry out all specified activities at each step. A statistical analysis of students' test scores showed that the guided-collaboration group significantly outperformed the other two groups. The differences among the low achievers of the three groups were especially significant, indicating that they had benefited the most from guided collaboration. It was also found that guided collaboration promoted meaningful discussions among students, which had contributed to their better understanding of programming concepts and problem-solving skills, and hence better test scores.

    What makes collaborative early FL reading effective? A mobile dynamic peer-assisted learning system
    (2006-07-14) 籃玉如; 宋曜廷; 張國恩; Lan, Yu-Ju; Sung, Yao-Ting; Chang, Kuo-En
    Collaborative learning is a learning approach in which peer interaction plays a significant role and students work together to accomplish shared goals. It is a widely used approach to increasing the intensity of EFL reading program. However, just heterogeneously placing students in a group and assigning them a group goal does not guarantee that students will involve in effective collaborative learning activities. When working without technological support, some problems in EFL reading group can be detected. We describe how weakness in learning supporting, feedback providing and lack of mobility can be solved with a mobile devices-supported dynamic peer-assisted learning grouping. The study explored EFL students’ collaborative behaviors without technological support. In order to overcome the weaknesses found in the non-technological collaborative EFL reading activities, we designed a dynamic peer-assisted learning program in a wireless reading system. Finally, we analyzed students’ collaborative behaviors with technological support. The result of our work identify an effective way of using mobile devices to support collaborative EFL reading activities that address the above mentioned weakness.
