Abstract: | This paper presents a model of collaborative learning that takes an information processing perspective of learning by social
interaction. The collaborative information processing model provides a theoretical basis for understanding learning principles
associated with social interaction and explains why peer-to-peer discussion is potentially more effective than instructor-student
discussion. The model explains information divergence as a key process for collaborative learning and information convergence
as a key group process for addressing specific learning outcomes. |
