The effects of case libraries on supporting collaborative problem-solving in an online learning environment

• In Event: D&D - Collaborative Problem-Solving

Short Description

One potential way to support problem-solving is through further investigation of instructional design methods that employ case-based reasoning. For this work-in-progress study, 22 participants enrolled in a teacher education program were randomly assigned to two groups as they resolved an ill-structured problem. The results demonstrated that both groups had similar patterns of discussion, but the case library condition collaborated at a higher rate for each of the categories of the content analysis.
