A Dynamic Group Composition Method to Refine Collaborative Learning Group Formation
نویسنده
چکیده
Group formation strategies have the goal of providing the participating students with the good initial conditions for collaborative learning. Continuing with the existing methods to set up the initial conditions to make peer interaction more likely happen, we propose a method for dynamically recomposing learning groups based on intra-group iteration analysis to optimize the learning group formation iteratively.

متن کاملDynamic Re-Composition of Learning Groups Using PSO-Based Algorithms
In collaborative learning contexts, the problem of automatically forming effective learning groups gets considerably complex with larger class sizes, e.g. in MOOCs. Additionally, group dynamics caused by high dropout rates currently observable on online open course platforms poses challenges to learning group formation strategies. To address these problems, this paper presents PSO-based algorit...
متن کاملDynamic Grouping in Collaborative Learning Supported by Wireless Handhelds
One of the most important decisions to be made in a face-to-face collaborative learning activity is how groups are composed. These compositions produce different learning and social interaction results. The possibility to change the group member composition in real time and dynamically may permit to level up the learning results and improve the social relationships among the participants. Besid...
