More Results (3)
• Selection Bias?– if any, it is very small & statistically insignificantè Suggests a true learning effect
• Impact of CSCL on the quality of the learning
process of novice students?– Based on Schellens & Valcke (2005)– Opposite results (different type of sample)
Outlook
1. Does CSCL have a temporary or structural effect onthe (prior) knowledge level and competencies ofstudents?
2. Research is needed on the motivation ofparticipants.
3. More specified and detailed information about thesubgroups.
