LED- Creating Learner Personas for Collaborative Learning in Higher Education - A Mixed Methods Study Using Q Methodology

• In Event: LED/OTP- Diverse Perspectives on Learner Engagement and Transfer of Training

Short Description

This study employed a mixed-methods approach with Q methodology and narrative inquiry to investigate undergraduate students’ subjective perspectives on various sources of frustrations in collaborative learning to develop a series of comprehensive learner personas. Five learner personas were created: Goal-oriented collaborators, fairness-oriented independent learners, learning-oriented collaborators, instruction-dependent learners, and adapted collaborators. These learner personas can help instructors and instructional designers design positive collaborative learning experiences for students.
