Kwon, Kyungbin; Shin, Suhkyung; Brush, Thomas A.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Edelberg, Thomas; Park, Su Jin; Khlaif, Zuheir; Nadiruzzaman, Hamid; Alangari, Husa – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
This study examined the types of learning behaviors students demonstrated while performing inquiry tasks. It also explored the relationship between the learning behaviors and students' domain knowledge. We observed fourteen students in five groups during a ninth-grade biology course. Three types of learning behaviors (inquiry, collaborative, and…

Miwa, Kazuhisa; Morita, Junya; Nakaike, Ryuichi; Terai, Hitoshi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2014
Cognitive modelling is one of the representative research methods in cognitive science. It is believed that creating cognitive models promotes learners' meta-cognitive activities such as self-monitoring and reflecting on their own cognitive processing. Preceding studies have confirmed that such meta-cognitive activities actually promote learning…

Chen, Chih-Ming; Chang, Chia-Cheng – Interactive Learning Environments, 2014
Many studies have identified web-based cooperative learning as an increasingly popular educational paradigm with potential to increase learner satisfaction and interactions. However, peer-to-peer interaction often suffers barriers owing to a failure to explore useful social interaction information in web-based cooperative learning environments.…

Shimic, Goran; Jevremovic, Aleksandar – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered instructional strategy in which students solve problems and reflect on their experiences. Different domains need different approaches in the design of PBL systems. Therefore, we present one case study in this article: A Java Programming PBL. The application is developed as an additional module for…

Tseng, Kuo-Hung; Chang, Chi-Cheng; Lou, Shi-Jer – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
This study aims to explore how high school students collaboratively solve problems in a web problem-based learning (WPBL) system in an 8-week digital logic course using discourse analysis. Employing in-depth interviews, this study also investigated the students' attitudes toward the WPBL system. The number of teaching assistants' responses had a…

Using the Internet to Improve University Education: Problem-Oriented Web-Based Learning with MUNICS
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fischer, Frank; Troendle, Pamela; Mandl, Heinz – Interactive Learning Environments, 2003
Up to this point, university education has largely remained unaffected by the developments of novel approaches to web-based learning. The paper presents a principled approach to the design of problem-oriented, web-based learning at the university level. The principles include providing authentic contexts with multimedia, supporting collaborative…
