A Comparison of Computer-Assisted Cooperative, Competitive, and Individualistic Learning.

Abstract

The effects of computer-assisted cooperative, competitive, and individualistic instruction were compared on achievement, student-student interaction, and attitudes. Seventy-four 8th-grade students were randomly assigned to conditions, stratifying for sex and ability. In all conditions students completed the same computer-assisted instructional unit. The results indicate that computer-assisted cooperative instruction promotes greater quantity and quality of daily achievement, more successful problem solving, more task-related student-student interaction, and an increase in the perceived status of female students.
