Research on Applied Information Technology with Web Application in Online Cooperative Learning under Cognitive Styles

Abstract:

With the development of information technology web-based teaching and learning have become an indispensable part in distance education. However due to the lack of face-to-face communication between teachers and students in web environment distance education in practical operation has inevitably encountered some difficulties one of which is the failure of web-based synchronous interaction. For example, individual learning hasn’t yet been realized in online synchronous discussion. Students have different cognitive styles which play a decisive role on their learning habits and learning behavior. To actualize the individual learning in web-based synchronous discussion, the research has tested cognitive styles of subjects by graphic test, observed performances of the three cognitive styles in web-based synchronous interaction, and analyzed the impact of different cognitive styles on web-based synchronous interaction in terms of cognitive styles and participation, and cognitive styles and interaction quality.
