Mobile devices enhance collaborative learning, with mobile-computer-supported collaborative learning (mCSCL) showing significant improvements. This meta-analysis confirms mCSCL
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning
Background:
- Mobile devices are increasingly used in collaborative learning environments.
- Evidence for the effectiveness of mobile-computer-supported collaborative learning (mCSCL) is limited.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a meta-analysis evaluating the impact of mCSCL on collaborative learning outcomes.
- To identify factors influencing the effectiveness of mCSCL.
Main Methods:
- Meta-analysis of 48 peer-reviewed studies and dissertations (2000-2015).
- Involved 5,294 participants across various educational settings.
Main Results:
- mCSCL demonstrated a significant positive effect on collaborative learning, with a mean effect size of 0.516.
- Domain subject, group size, teaching method, intervention duration, and reward method moderated the observed effects.
Conclusions:
- mCSCL offers meaningful improvements for collaborative learning processes and outcomes.
- Provides guidance for optimizing mobile device integration and group learning strategies in mCSCL research and practice.

E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
