Subclaims¶

q2 i? Adoption of a particular team role was partly related to one's technical aptitude; members with limited gameplay experience adopted passive roles and sometimes felt incompetent. → Elina Riivari 2021

Evidence¶

Elina Riivari 2021¶

Elina Riivari, Marke Kivijärvi, Anna-Maija Lämsä. (2021). Learning teamwork through a computer game: for the sake of performance or collaborative learning? Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-021-10009-4

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Qualitative content analysis of student reflections; students without prior computer game experience mostly followed instructions, and the discussion reports that dependence on a few technologically experienced members limited others' ability to explore the game.

"The above quotations show how the adoption of a particular team role was partly related to one’s technical aptitude (or lack thereof)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Collaboration — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
