| Summary: | This study analyzes the interaction in collaborative homogeneous and heterogeneous groups in an online asynchronous discussion, examines the level ofcognitive engagements in each group and investigates the impact of these groups in interaction effects and cognitive engagements. The research employs thetriangulation methodology for the content/transcript analysis and utilizes pre-service teachers as participants. Results show that collaborative homogeneous groups are more conducive for widespread interaction and higher cognitive engagements. An overview of the characteristics and implications of grouping strategies in a computer-assisted learning environment is likewise provided. |
