| dc.description.abstract | Research on cooperative learning is one of the greatest success stories in the history of educational research. But not every cooperative learning group is effective, part of group that wasted time, was inefficient, and generally produced poor work, groups are characterized by a number of dynamics that impair their effectiveness, such as groupthink.
In recent years, with the rapid development of IT technology, especially in personal computer and network bandwidth, and constantly introduce new innovative devices such as smart phones and tablet computers, making a lot of research into educational issues and the integration of information on the device, then propose many different teaching methods , from the E-Learning continues to evolve into ubiquitous learning (U-Learning), etc, making the more feasible on learning actives which cannot implement in the traditional teaching, explore new opportunities on the educational research.
The main purpose of this study through personal computer, and new mobile devices designed a cooperative learning platform, to reduce the occurrence of learners in cooperative learning groups in the degree of groupthink, and through this platform to enhance learning achievement.
In this study, we design the five basic elements of cooperative learning through ＂positive interdependence＂, ＂face to face interaction＂, ＂individual responsibility,＂ ＂social skills＂, ＂group process＂ and with the settlement process on the method of Groupthink in to the cooperative learning platform , and learning can learn on cooperative learning platform by using variety of information device. The platform also provides a wealth of learning materials to learners hope can promote their learning achievement.
Through experiments and statistical evaluation of the questionnaire results , the use of cooperative learning platform for learners in relation to the traditional face to face discussion of the learners, the emergence of groupthink in the group have a significant decline in the extent and learning achievement were also significantly improved.
