Sánchez, Lenny Saparova, Dinara Problem Solving Online Courses Electronic Learning Instructional Design Teaching Methods Instructional Effectiveness Electronic Libraries Educational Environment Discussion (Teaching Technique) Discussion Groups Content Analysis College Students Case Method (Teaching Technique) Various domains require practitioners to encounter and resolve ill-structured problems using collaborative problem-solving. As such, problem-solving is an essential skill that educators must emphasize to prepare learners for practice. One potential way to support problem-solving is through further investigation of instructional design methods that employ case-based reasoning. These learning environments consist of narratives of practitioners as they reason through related ill-structured problems. However, very little research exists about how case libraries impact learning, especially collaborative learning. For this study, 22 participants enrolled in a teacher education program were randomly assigned to two groups as they resolved an ill-structured problem. The results demonstrated that both groups had similar patterns of discussion, but the case library condition collaborated at a higher rate for each of the categories of the content analysis. |
