Abstract

Collaboration skill is one of the most critical skill sets for engineers-to-be while university engineering students have challenges engaging in productive collaborative learning practices. This study examined the effect of individual preparation before collaboration on students' collaborative learning outcomes and processes. A total of 82 engineering undergraduates (41 pairs) participated in the study and collaborated under two conditions: immediate collaboration and individual preparation before collaboration. A mixed-method approach was applied in this study. Students' online-design solutions and verbal discussions were collected for both collaborative learning outcomes and process analyses. Students produced higher quality design solutions with individual preparation before collaboration than immediate collaboration. There were different engineering design behavioral patterns under the two conditions, indicating different ways to define the design problem, generate solutions, and analyze and evaluate solutions. The findings and discussion provide insights for innovating pedagogical design to promote collaborative learning efficiency in real-world university classrooms.

像专家设计师一样合作:个体准备活动对学生合作学习作用的探索性研究
协作技能是工程师最关键的技能之一,而大学工程系学生在参与富有成效的协作学习实践方面面临挑战。本研究考察了合作前的个人准备对学生合作学习结果和过程的影响。共有82名工科本科生(41对)参与了这项研究,并在两个条件下进行了合作:立即合作和合作前的个人准备。本研究采用混合方法。收集学生的在线设计解决方案和口头讨论,用于合作学习结果和过程分析。与直接合作相比,学生们在合作前通过个人准备制作了更高质量的设计解决方案。在这两种情况下,存在不同的工程设计行为模式,表明定义设计问题、生成解决方案以及分析和评估解决方案的方式不同。研究结果和讨论为创新教学设计提供了见解,以提高现实世界大学课堂中的协作学习效率。
