Collaborative Problem Solving in Shared Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to examine collaborative problem solving in a shared virtual space. The main question asked was: How will the performance and processes differ between collaborative problem solvers and independent problem solvers over time? A total of 104 university students (63 female and 41 male) participated in an experimental study. Participants were randomly assigned to four different experimental groups: individual & multi-tasking, collaborative & multi-tasking, individual & single-tasking, and collaborative & single-tasking. Results showed that the participants who collaborated and had multi-tasking activities outperformed the others. Additionally, collaboration helped to improve overall performance over time. The study offers insights for collaborative learning from both theoretical and methodological perspectives.

Multi-surface environments (MSE) combine several surfaces in a variety of physical arrangements to form a seamless information space. Large surfaces, such as tabletops and wall-displays are often used as a shared space to coordinate efforts, and handheld devices, such as tablets and smartphones, are generally used as personal spaces supporting individual tasks. MSE have shown benefits for suppo...

the paper introduces a cognitively motivated approach for structuring and representing of unfamiliar large-scale environments. The proposed regionbased representation facilitates collaborative spatio-temporal planning, where problem solving process is shared between a user and an assistance system. The problem domain is structured hierarchically into regions resembling human decision space. The...
