Title: A Novel Approach to Analyzing Collaborative Knowledge Building in Collaborative Learning
Abstract: Collaborative learning has been widely used in the field of education. As a major activity, collaborative knowledge building has attracted growing interest in the field of collaborative learning. How to analyze collaborative knowledge building process and outcomes is the major concern in this field. Different approaches and analytical methods have been explored in order to analyze and evaluate collaborative knowledge building. This study proposes an innovative analytical method named the IIS (interactional information set)-map-based analysis method for analyzing collaborative knowledge building in collaborative learning. In total 497 undergraduate students consisting of 153 groups participated in this study. The results indicate that the IIS-map-based analysis method is an effective method to analyze collaborative knowledge building. The activation quantity of the final knowledge map can predict the level of collaborative knowledge building. The implications of this new method and future studies are also discussed.
