| Research Abstract |
This research investigated conditions for making effective use of electronic media as support for college students' development of conceptual understanding. In experiment-like settings of mock newsgroups, the numbers of participants (many-c.60-vs.afew-c.6-), the duration of discussion (6weeks vs.6days), and discussion topics' selection methods (random, or spontaneous selecition vs.structured preparation of topics) were compared. It was found that the success of the networked activities was correlated with some emergent, resource rich interactions, which were found more often in groups of smaller number of participants with spontaneous topic selection. The success was strongly guided by the amount of shared topic-related knowledge, which was often explicated by the more capable members among the participants. To lead classroom-related activities successful, further research is needed to find ways to solicit this collaborative knowledge sharing from internal and external data sources such as the Internet.
