International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) (21st, Zagreb, Croatia, Oct 26-28, 2024)
This study investigates the relationship between students' problem-solving skills in solving mathematical problems and asynchronous collaboration in digital learning environments. The research focuses on the Digital Math Training (DMT) project, designed by the DELTA research group at the University of Turin, which aims to enhance students' digital mathematics skills and problem-solving abilities. Through a detailed analysis of student participation and performance data, including responses to a final questionnaire on the perceived benefits of asynchronous collaboration, the study identifies significant relationships between students' problem-solving abilities and the effectiveness of their collaborative activities. The findings highlight the benefits of asynchronous forums in fostering a sense of community, collaboration and reflective thinking among students, ultimately contributing to improved mathematical competence. The study's results underline the importance of integrating asynchronous collaborative tools into digital learning environments to support students' academic growth and prepare them for future challenges.
