abstract |
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has been highlighted as a beneficial
learning experience for students in blended and online settings. In highly diverse
and international contexts, CSCL also allows students the opportunity to encounter
new ideas and values from peers with different backgrounds. However, previous research
has highlighted that there are wide variations in student participation levels in
CSCL activities and that many students experience social and cultural tensions when
working with diverse peers. These issues may damage the quality of online collaboration
and limit the potential gains of CSCL. In this study, we explored one evidence-based
solution for encouraging CSCL participation: the internationalisation of the online
academic content used for collaborative activities. Using a randomised control trial
method with 428 undergraduate students in an introductory statistics course, we compared
individual and group-level participation in an online collaborative task when students
used content from the local context compared to content from international contexts.
Our findings suggest that internationalisation of online content can encourage individual-level
participation and decrease the disparity of participation within small groups when
the content is situated in countries that are personally relevant to students’ own
backgrounds. At the same time, participation was influenced by individual demographics
and group dynamics. |
