  1. Development of Pedagogical Blended E-Learning Model Using Cognitive Tools Based Upon Constructivist Approach for Knowledge Construction in Higher Education JintaveeKhlaisang Department of Educational Technology and Communications, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand (jintavee.m@chula.ac.th)

  2. INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY FK | CK PK | MK ENVIRONMENT>blended e-Learning & social constructivist learning environment in Higher Education… TOOLS > 6 types of cognitive tools Higher Level Lower Level Synchronous | Asynchronous Cognitive Domain • PROCESS>online pedagogies can be named : • Collaborative Discussion Based Learning (CDBL) • Collaborative Project-Based Learning (CPjBL) • Collaborative Problem-Based Learning (CPBL)

  3. OBJECTIVES • To develop pedagogical blended e-Learning model using cognitive tools based upon constructivist approach for knowledge construction in higher education • to examine review of literatures, and experts’ opinion, towards the most popular top three pedagogies used in e-Learning environment • to develop the models according to the most popular top three pedagogies used in e-Learning environment, integrated with 6 types of cognitive tools in order to enhance knowledge construction • to tryout the effectiveness of the model which developed under the most popular top three pedagogies used in e-Learning environment, integrated with 6 types of cognitive tools.

  4. PROCEDURES Figure 1Research Procedures

  5. Phase 1Literature review of model components and procedures and Model development • Process : • The data gathering from the review of totaled 180 related literature (75 Thai literature and 105 International literature) were reported as a draft model • Researcher interviewed the 5 experts in the field of curriculum and instruction, educational technologies, and educational measurement and evaluation • Result : • Draft model comprising of 1 generic model and 3 specific models 2. The Research Study AND THE Findings

  6. The Research Study AND THE Findings Example of Sub Model : CDBL content outline and timeframe were presented objectives for discussion were presented resources for discussion were prepared course and group database were placed for discussion cognitive tools were used to find out solution according to the assigned discussion topics findings were presented with review and comments from peers content reflection was placed through online group learning log.

  7. The Research Study AND THE Findings • Phase 2Model try out • Process: • The samples were 21 undergraduate students divided into two groups (group 1 : synchronous interaction-based cognitive tool and group 2 : asynchronous interaction-based cognitive tool). • The two pretests were completed in order to explore the former levels of their knowledge and the result of the basic computer ability were used to divided students into groups. • Theinstructions were initiated for 15 weeks followed pedagogical blended e-Learning using cognitive tools based upon constructivist approach lesson plan which divided into 3 modules: CDBL, CPjBL, and CPBL. • The posttest of knowledge construction test were conducted in order to compare learners’ former and latter levels of knowledge construction. • In-depth data of knowledge construction were collected through the observation of learners’ process of knowledge construction via the online learning environment. • The satisfaction towards the model was conducted in order to explore the appropriateness towards the model.

  15. 2.2 Learners’ Satisfaction : Model Examples of some questions : pre-instruction are well plan in preparing learners becoming accustomed to the Learning Management System Instruction was initiated in learners’ challenging manners and summarizing at the end Instructor was well plan during the summarized step and pointed out to the applicable and further use The courseware was accessibility Figure 8:Learners’ (experimental group 2) satisfaction towards the Pedagogical Blended E-Learning Model Using Asynchronous Cognitive Tools

  16. The Research Study AND THE Findings Phase 3 Model revised and confirmation • The 3 experts considered that the models were appropriate towards the knowledge construction in higher education. • Suggestions were made as follows: • the generic model should address the proportion of instruction offering in face-to –face mode, as well as the one offering in online mode. • adding details of following up and evaluation stages since these two stages might take a lot of efforts when compared to other stages when teaching in blended learning environment. • the role of Teaching Assistant (TA) should be addressed since it has played viral role in supporting instructor, especially in the following up stage.

  17. Discussion and Conclusions • The top three pedagogical blended e-Learning model included CDBL, CPjBL, and CPBL. • CPBL showed the highest scores of knowledge creation • The 6 types of cognitive tools comprised of database tool, concept map tool, spreadsheet tool, simulation tool, presentation tool, and conference tool. • Synchronous cognitive tools presented the higher improvement scores, especially in the area of evaluating and creation.
