Title
Intra-group and intergroup: an exploration of learning with complementary collaboration tools
Abstract
In this paper, we explore the learning that occurred in two types of collaborative learning environments in a seventh grade life sciences classroom: an intragroup environment and an intergroup environment. Students used both types of collaboration tools, each tuned to the needs of the task they were doing within or across groups. We found that the learning outcomes in the two collaborative settings were different. During the intragroup collaboration, students focused more on the structure and behavior of the designs. The inter-group environment on the other hand, led them to discuss the function/s of their models, ask for and provide justifications for the functions. We discuss the results and suggest integration of the inter and intra group tools.
