Description

Computer supported collaboration is a powerful way to facilitate learning. In comparison with cognitive, social and design factors, little is known about affect and emotions in computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL). My PhD project investigated the relationship between the way that collaborators understand the emotions of each other and their performance during the use of collaborative technologies. I will explain the method and results of three studies that combine statistical techniques for group analysis with detailed qualitative descriptions. The first one assessed the relationship between the emotions of partners collaborating around a concept mapping tool and an educational computer game. The second study is an over-time investigation about the relationship between partners’ emotions and their performance during the use of a collaborative computer game. The third study assessed the benefits of supporting the awareness about the emotions of the partner during face-to-face collaborations and remote collaborations. Implications about the evaluation of collaborative learning technologies and the role of emotions in collaborative learning will be discussed.
