Abstract In recent years, colleges and universities across the country have been called upon to increase the quality of education provided and to improve student retention rates. In response to this challenge, many faculty are exploring alternatives to the traditional “lecture-centered” approach of higher education in an attempt to increase student learning and satisfaction. Collaborative learning is one method of teaching, which has been demonstrated to improve student learning outcomes.

This chapter presents an argument for the use of teaching routines (pedagogical patterns) to engage students in collaborative learning activities using the Group Scribbles classroom network technology. Teaching routines are a resource for structuring student opportunities to learn within lessons. They address known challenges associated with making the most of classroom network technology by scaffolding teacher enactment, enabling contingent teaching, and providing an anchor for expanding practice. In this chapter, the authors articulate the theoretical and empirical basis for using teaching routines to support diagnostic interactive formative assessment of student learning. The authors describe the goals and features of routines, types of collaboration instantiated in the routines, technological aspects of Group Scribbles, teachers’ perceived utility of the routines, and anticipated implementation challenges of the routines within lessons designed for middle school Earth science.

AbstractAlthough the community of practice (CoP) concept has been heavily utilized in business literature since its inception in the 1990s, it has not been significantly featured in nursing research. With student-centered approaches increasingly infusing nursing classrooms, including opportunities for collaborative learning and the development of student learning communities, it may be time to ask: Do we practice what we teach? Nursing academia faces challenges related to recruitment and retention, scholarly productivity and engagement of new faculty, and increasing demands for collaborative research. Challenges, some would argue, that could be addressed through CoPs; a sentiment reflected in the recent expansion of nursing CoP literature. What is the current state of the application of this concept in nursing academia and what barriers present in the promotion and development of CoPs in the academy? This article addresses these questions and provides guidance for those in search of community.

The aim of this research to analyze the essence of Junior high student learning outcomes Darul Arafah is still relatively low it is seen that the value of the student learning outcomes that achieve minimum completeness criteria (KKM) is still much below the passing standard, so it is still far from what is expected. From the analysis it can be concluded as follows: 1) There is a noticeable difference the average student learning outcomes are taught using methods of collaborative learning with an average of the learning outcomes of students who are taught with methods of discovery learning on the subject of integers students in grade 7 SMP Darul Arafah Sukajawa the school 2015/2016. 2) The average results learning collaborative learning method is lower than the average student learning outcomes are taught using methods of discovery learning on the subject of integers grade students grade 7 SMP Darul Arafah Sukajawa the school 2015/2016. Kata Kunci : collaborative learning, discovery learning method, study result,

This study aims to improve learning outcomes and social attitudes of second grade students in the odd semester of the 2017/2018 academic year through the application of a collaborative learning model in the content of Civics lessons. This research was conducted in two learning cycles. The learning model used in this study is a collaborative learning model. The object of research is social attitudes and student learning outcomes. To measure students' social attitudes, observational guidelines were used. To measure student learning outcomes used test learning outcomes. The data analysis used in this research is descriptive analysis. The results of data analysis showed that: 1) The application of the collaborative learning model can improve the learning outcomes of class II SD Negeri 1 Tumbu. There was an increase in student learning outcomes of Civics from the first cycle of 73.91 to the second cycle of 86.96 this indicates an increase in learning outcomes of Civics learning content of 17.65%. 2) The application of the collaborative learning model can improve the social attitudes of the second grade students of SD Negeri 1 Tumbu. The average value of students' social attitudes increased from 66.09 in the first cycle with the medium category to 80.96 in the second cycle with the high category. This indicates an increase in students' social attitudes by 22.50%. Learning outcomes in learning will be better if before carrying out the learning process prepare the required learning tools carefully and planned in advance in order to achieve the desired learning objectives.

There continues to be an increase in enrollments in various computing programs at academic institutions due to many job opportunities available in the information, communication, and technology sectors. This enrollment surge has presented several challenges in many Computer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), and Software Engineering (SE) programs at universities and colleges. One such challenge is that many instructors in CS/IT/SE programs continue to use learning approaches that are not learner centered and therefore are not adequately preparing students to be proficient in the ever-changing computing industry. To mitigate this challenge, instructors need to use evidence-based pedagogical approaches, e.g., active learning, to improve student learning and engagement in the classroom and equip students with the skills necessary to be lifelong learners. This article presents an approach that combines learning and engagement strategies (LESs) in learning environments using different teaching modalities to improve student learning and engagement. We describe how LESs are integrated into face-to-face (F2F) and online class activities. The LESs currently used are collaborative learning , gamification , problem-based learning , and social interaction . We describe an approach used to quantify each LES used during class activities based on a set of characteristics for LESs and the traditional lecture-style pedagogical approaches. To demonstrate the impact of using LESs in F2F class activities, we report on a study conducted over seven semesters in a software testing class at a large urban minority serving institution. The study uses a posttest-only study design, the scores of two midterm exams, and approximate class times dedicated to each LES and traditional lecture style to quantify their usage in a face-to-face software testing class. The study results showed that increasing the time dedicated to collaborative learning, gamification, and social interaction and decreasing the traditional lecture-style approach resulted in a statistically significant improvement in student learning, as reflected in the exam scores.

Over the past several years, scholars of teaching and learning have demonstrated the potential of collaborative learning strategies for improving student learning. This paper examines the use of computer-mediated communication to promote collaborative student learning in large introductory sociology courses. Specifically, we summarize a project we conducted during the 2000-2001 academic year in which we added online collaborative learning activities to the curriculum of two large sections of introductory sociology. Drawing on Novak et al.'s (1999) Just-In-Time Teaching methods, we developed online activities to help prepare students for subsequent in-class work and to cultivate a sense of group solidarity among smaller teams within the larger class. The results suggest that student engagement in the online group learning activities was strongly predictive of better student academic achievement on the biweekly quizzes, cumulative final exam, and course paper. These findings highlight the potential value of online group work for fostering collaborative learning environments in large lecture courses as well as for enhancing student learning.

Providing material in the forms of task in collaborative teaching and learning process is one way in tapping the potential of the student's ability both on the cognitive, affective or psychomotoric trait.The task material provided in this collaborative learning is to foster a dialogical situation, communicative atmosphere, mutual listening and learning among students. The material itself is an obligatory task which is in accordance with the capacity of each student. Material assignments or tasks in the learning process is not only as an evaluation tool but also as a tool triggering the implementation of the teaching procedures to deliver real results that makes the students understand and learn the actual learning. Therefore, the level of task must be considered to obtain real change for each student learning.
