This research describes a methodology for applying design- and management-based scaffolding techniques aimed to enhance cooperative behavior. Based on assumptions of how successful online learning groups act together, we developed feedback-based mechanisms that aimed at contributing to group functions of well-being, member support, and productive…

Quinn, James; And Others – 1996
A dilemma in designing computer simulations for instruction is how to provide a challenging exploratory environment and yet provide sufficient support so that students do not become lost. Directive support such as corrective feedback may detract from the exploratory quality of a simulation. Two methods of non-directive support are: (1) simplifying…

Defines group processing as review of group dynamics identifying productive behaviors. Reports findings of a study examining how group processing influenced cooperative efforts and individual achievement. Uses results from map skill and problem-solving tests given to 49 Black high school seniors who were college bound. Finds that processing…
