| Abstract: | Although collaborative group work is used by many instructors as a useful educational tool, there is much room for research
on how learning actually occurs within collaborative learning environments. This paper attempts to explore the relationship(if
any) between task structure and collaborative group interactions in a synchronous peer interaction collaborative learning
environment. For this reason, we used the Cmap during a Physics course for Grade 12 students. This paper compares two groups
of students, one studying concept maps with single answer task, and the other studying concept maps with variable answer task.
The aim of the study presented in this article is to also investigate the influence of task structure on students’ interactivity
according to certain indicators and cognitive performance. |
