Slide 1: Co-operative Learning in Web-Based Learning Environments Doctoral Seminar Research in Higher and Vocational Education Department of Educational Studies (University of Oxford) – Department of Business and Human Resource Education (University of Paderborn) Oxford, 15 – 16 March 2007 Dipl. Hdl. Frederik G. Pferdt Dipl. Hdl. Frederik G. Pferdt 1 Doctoral Seminar, Oxford, 15./16.03.2007 1 Slide 2: Agenda I. Problem Context II. Research Questions III. A Model for Designing Self-regulated Learning in Cooperative Learning Environments with New Media IV. Research Context and Design Based Research V. Case Studies and Reasearch Methods Applied Dipl. Hdl. Frederik G. Pferdt 2 Doctoral Seminar, Oxford, 15./16.03.2007 2 Slide 3: „New Learning“ with New Media? - New technologies, new media (Weblogs, Wikis, Podcasts) - Next generation eLearning (eLearning 2.0) Technological innovations - Changing live concepts - Changing student needs - New learning requirements New Learning? Advances in edcuation - Changing teaching-/ learning paradigm - New learning cultures: integration of informal and formal learning Seufert (2007),Tully (2004) Changing learners and students - Globalisation - Internationalisation - Knowledge society Dipl. Hdl. Frederik G. Pferdt Changing economical environment 3 Doctoral Seminar, Oxford, 15./16.03.2007 3 Slide 4: Problem Context Mainfunction is the reproduction of content. Content Learning with New orientation Media leads to standardised, linear Presentation of and externally information leads to a controlled learning conversion into knowledge? Learning is controlled by the Learning Objects teacher or the discussion computer Content vs. Context Self-evaluation of capabilities and skills decreased Learning by oneself with new media Changing roles of teachers and learners Learning without prerequisites isn´t possible New Media is controlling the learning process Digital content is printed out by learners Masie Center (2001), Wiley (2000), Merrill (1998), Brady et al.

Goal / Intention What does new media do with the learner? knowledge competence Didactical approach instruction construction Understanding of learning What does the learner do with new media? behavioristical /cognitive constructivist Dipl. Hdl. Frederik G. Pferdt 5 Doctoral Seminar, Oxford, 15./16.03.2007 5 Slide 6: Research Questions How can co-operative learning in vocational education be designed using Research Question: web-based construction tools? Which opportunities and Research Question: In which way does new media change our society and our learning? potentials for learning as a process of planning carrying out and controlling of actions is offered by new technologies? Research Question: How should new media be designed to serve as a learning trigger? Learning New Media Research Question: Which requirements are made to the problem deﬁnition and to the learning environments to initiate desired learning processes with the help of these technologies? Research Question: How can new media development be designed as a learning process for vocational education? Research Question: How can New Media be used, to foster a culture of self-regulated and cooperative learning? Research Question: How can new media tools support cooperative knowledge construction Dipl. Hdl. Frederik G. Pferdt Research Question: How can new media tools support active learning and construction of action competence. 6 Doctoral Seminar, Oxford, 15./16.03.2007 6 Slide 7: Learning with New Media - a Model Instruction Construction / Information / Communication media Confrontation media Construction Presentation media How is the learning process supported? What is the learning product? Planning What is the learning motivation? Conducting Controlling Content Communication Kremer (2007), Dilger / Pferdt (2006) Dipl. Hdl. Frederik G. Pferdt 7 Doctoral Seminar, Oxford, 15./16.03.2007 7 Slide 8: Research Context and Design Based Research Development of solutions with a theoretical framework and consulting by researchers (UPB) Analysis of practical problems and cooperatively deﬁning aims by researchers (UPB) and practioners (KooL) Reﬁnement of problems, solutions, and methods solutions Evaluating and testing of solutions in practice (KooL) and consulting during the implementation process (UPB) Documentation and reﬂection to produce "design principles" and prototypes of cooperative webbased learning scenarios Dipl.

Pferdt 9 Doctoral Seminar, Oxford, 15./16.03.2007 9 Slide 10: There are always questions remaining... • Does every research question have to be answered in the case • • • studies? Which explanatory power do the case studies have? Which results could be expected from the case studies? Are the research methods appropriate? Dipl. Hdl. Frederik G.
