Abstract: | This study used a sequential set-up to investigate the consecutive effects of timing of supportive information presentation
(information before vs. information during the learning task clusters) in interactive digital learning materials (IDLMs) and
type of collaboration (personal discussion vs. online discussion) in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) on student
knowledge construction. Students (N = 87) were first randomly assigned to the two information presentation conditions to work individually on a case-based assignment
in IDLM. Students who received information during learning task clusters tended to show better results on knowledge construction
than those who received information only before each cluster. The students within the two separate information presentation
conditions were then randomly assigned to pairs to discuss the outcomes of their assignments under either the personal discussion
or online discussion condition in CSCL. When supportive information had been presented before each learning task cluster,
online discussion led to better results than personal discussion. When supportive information had been presented during the
learning task clusters, however, the online and personal discussion conditions had no differential effect on knowledge construction.
Online discussion in CSCL appeared to compensate for suboptimal timing of presentation of supportive information before the
learning task clusters in IDLM. |
