Overview

Quasi-experimental trial investigates collaboration and competition effects on learning outcomes in seventh-grade students.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how different collaboration modes interact with competition in shaping computational thinking learning and group metacognition.
  • Quasi-experimental design with 148 seventh-grade students recruited via purposive sampling.
  • Participants engaged in a digital game in pairs under varying collaboration modes with or without competition.
  • Data analyzed through quantitative methods and behavioral sequence analysis.
  • Cooperative group with competition showed the highest computational thinking outcomes.
  • Paired gaming group with competition reported the highest level of group metacognition.
  • Collaborative group with competition exhibited the lowest learning outcomes and group metacognition.
