Experimental comparison between three modalities of computer-assisted teaching
Abstract
The objective of this experiment is to compare three teaching situations where the communication is mediated by computers. The following models are tested: expositive (according to Ausubel’s view), participative-guided (in the Vygotsky’s constructivism tradition) and collaborative (in the way of Piaget’s constructivism). Experimental design includes pre-test and post-test for independent samples. Teaching units are groups of 3 or 4 learners, all students of psychology. The teaching subject is the right solution of three logical problems. Data analysis take into account of the right responses in the individual post-test and their logical foundation. Results are analyzed on the base of the distinction between axiomatic logic and psychological logic. Finally, there are some references to data of the individual questionnaire about the experimental session.Downloads
