ABSTRACT

In this paper, a new computer-supported collaborative learning-based groupware is proposed for supporting problem-based collaborative learning in computer programming education setting. The geo-distributed learners can collaboratively with their tutor resolve the common programming problem within a shared workspace. The proposed system embeds some synchronous and asynchronous collaborative tools that allow learners and tutor to interact with each other to develop a shared source code of the program. This research work has two main objectives. First, it attempts to present the proposed groupware functionalities. Second, it discusses the experimental study adopted to assess the acceptability of the Groupware. Such study is an empirical method based on the model of unified theory of the acceptance and use of technology to determine learners’ Behavioural Intention (BI) to accept to use such Groupware in Algerian higher education setting.

摘要

本文提出了一种新的计算机支持的基于协作学习的群件被提议用于支持计算机编程教育环境中基于问题的协作学习。地理分布的学习者可以与他们的导师合作解决共享工作空间内的常见编程问题。建议的系统嵌入了一些同步和异步协作工具，允许学习者和导师相互交互以开发程序的共享源代码。这项研究工作有两个主要目标。首先，它试图展示提出的群件功能。其次，讨论了用于评估群件可接受性的实验研究。该研究是一种基于技术接受和使用统一理论模型确定学习者行为意图的实证方法（BI) 接受在阿尔及利亚高等教育环境中使用此类群件。
