Scientific paper
We present our results on the difference in learning effectiveness of a particular concept in astronomy when students work as individuals as compared to working in pairs. We conducted a study based on the stellar parallax concept using two versions of a computer-based tutorial: guided and unguided. In this study students were randomly assigned to work in peer groups and individually. Students’ interactions with the two versions of the tutorial and their peer interactions were recorded using MORAE software for quantitative and qualitative analysis. In addition, we used pretest and two posttest questionnaires to find conceptual gain.
Here we present our preliminary results on the emergence of particular patterns in students learning behavior when they work independently and with peers, and how guided or unguided exercises affect these patterns.
