Project description:

In cooperative learning, regulation is required both at the individual level and at the group level. Based on theories of self-regulated learning, Co-Regulation of Learning (CoRL) and Socially Shared Regulation of Learning (SSRL) have been described as additional modes of social regulation. These differ in the degree of transactivity within the interactions between learners. The planned project aims to further develop the precise measurement of the social regulation modes CoRL and SSRL, to systematically investigate the conditions under which these modes occur, and to explore their relationship to individual learning success. To address these research questions, laboratory experiments will be conducted in which students collaborate in pairs (dyads) within a digital simulation. Particular attention in these studies will be paid to the composition of the dyads with respect to various learner characteristics, such as domain-specific prior knowledge or learning goals, and how these factors influence both the cooperation process and the knowledge acquisition of the group members.
