- PublikationInsights from a multi-method assessment of collaborative engagement in student group(27.09.2024) Jeitziner, Loris Tizian; Paneth, Lisa; Rack, Oliver; Dirk U. Wulff; Zahn, CarmenWe investigate the Quality of Collaborative Group Engagement (QCGE) in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) employing a multimethod approach. Analyzing 38 triad groups the study combines advanced methods such as video analysis (verbal and nonverbal behavior self assessment, trained observer ratings, and natural language processing (NLP )). The results produced key insights into QCGE . First, t he observer rating s and self assessments exhibited limited variance and considerable skewness in most QCGE dimensions , significantly limiting their usefulness. Second, no nverbal behavior s and linguistic markers extracted using NLP showed small to moderate correlations with QCGE ratings, suggesting opportunities for measuring QCGE in an automatized fashion . Our study emphasizes the importance of multimethod approaches for understanding QCGE and highlights a potential to refine these methodologies using artificial intelligence to increase the accuracy and reliability of QCGE assessment.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationBeyond words: investigating non-verbal indicators of collaborative engagement in a virtual synchronous CSCL environment(Frontiers Research Foundation, 14.08.2024) Jeitziner, Loris Tizian; Paneth, Lisa; Rack, Oliver; Zahn, Carmen [in: Frontiers in Psychology]In the future of higher education, student learning will become more virtual and group-oriented, and this new reality of academic learning comes with challenges. Positive social interactions in virtual synchronous student learning groups are not self-evident but need extra support. To successfully support positive social interactions, the underlying group processes, such as collaborative group engagement, need to be understood in detail, and the important question arises: How can collaborative group engagement be assessed in virtual group learning settings? A promising methodological approach is the observation of students’ non-verbal behavior, for example, in videoconferences. In an exploratory field study, we observed the non-verbal behavior of psychology students in small virtual synchronous learning groups solving a complex problem via videoconferencing. The groups were videorecorded to analyze possible relations between their non-verbal behaviors and to rate the quality of collaborative group engagement01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift

- PublikationA multi-method approach to capture quality of collaborative group engagement(International Society of the Learning Sciences, 2023) Paneth, Lisa; Jeitziner, Loris Tizian; Rack, Oliver; Zahn, Carmen; Damsa, Crina; Borge, Marcela; Koh, Elizabeth; Worsley, Marcelo [in: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning - CSCL 2023]Multi-method approaches are an emerging trend in CSCL research as they allow to paint a more comprehensive picture of complex group learning processes than using a single method. In this contribution, we combined measures from different data sources to capture the quality of collaborative group engagement (QCGE) in CSCL-groups: QCGE-self-assessments, QCGE-ratings of verbal group communication, and video recorded nonverbal group behaviors. Using different methods of analysis, we visualized, described, and analyzed the data and related the measures to each other. Here, we present results suggesting that measures from different data sources are interrelated: For instance, nonverbal behavior (like nodding the head) is related to high QCGE-ratings of verbal communications. Results are preliminary and show disparities, too. Yet, we conclude that the multi-method approach results in a more comprehensive understanding of QCGE. Feasibility and suitability of the multi-method approach are discussed and conclusions for future research are drawn.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationExploring linguistic indicators of social collaborative group engagement(International Society of the Learning Sciences, 2023) Jeitziner, Loris Tizian; Paneth, Lisa; Rack, Oliver; Zahn, Carmen; Wulff, Dirk U.; Damşa, Crina; Borge, Marcela; Koh, Elizabeth; Worsley, Marcelo [in: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning - CSCL 2023]This study takes a NLP approach to measuring social engagement in CSCL-learning groups. Specifically, we develop linguistic markers to capture aspects of social engagement, namely sentiment, responsiveness and uniformity of participation and compare them to human ratings of social engagement. We observed small to moderate links between NLP-markers and human ratings that varied in size and direction across the different groups. We discuss measurement and prediction of social collaborative group engagement using natural language processing.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationEffects of Game Mode in Multiplayer Video Games on Intergenerational Social Interaction: Randomized Field Study(JMIR Publications, 16.02.2022) Zahn, Carmen; Leisner, David; Niederhauser, Mario; Roos, Anna-Lena; Iseli, Tabea; Soldati, Marco [in: JMIR Formative Research]Maintaining social relationships is a basic human need and particularly essential in old age, including when living in a retirement home. Multiplayer video games can promote positive social interactions among players from different generations while playing. Yet, such facilitation of positive social interactions depends on specific game design. To systematically investigate the effects of game design on social interaction between seniors and their coplayers, the game Myosotis FoodPlanet was developed in this study, and the impacts of 3 different game modes on social interaction were compared in a controlled field trial. This study aims to compare the effects of 3 different game modes (competitive, cooperative, and creative) on social interactions (verbal and nonverbal communication) between seniors and their younger coplayers. The results show that game mode can be an important factor for shaping the social interactions of players playing together. Compared with other modes, creative game modes can increase verbal communication. In contrast, competitive modes may stimulate more laughing together. This has important implications for game design and the use of computer games to promote social interaction between seniors and their coplayers in practice.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationAesthetic design of app interfaces and their impact on secondary students’ interest and learning(Elsevier, 2022) Ruf, Alessia; Zahn, Carmen; Agotai, Doris; Iten, Glena; Opwis, Klaus [in: Computers & Education]Interest in science topics is an important prerequisite for science learning and achievement. Here, as part of a field experiment, we studied whether teenagers’ interest and learning of physics topics would be influenced by the aesthetics of a multimedia learning app. More specifically, we investigated with the example of learning about energy (types of power plants) how different interface designs of a multimedia learning app would influence aesthetic experience, interest, and learning outcome. In our study Swiss high school students (N = 108) were assigned to one of two conditions (i.e., game-style vs. industrial-style) differing in various aesthetic features. Results indicate that high-quality interfaces support learning and expressive aesthetic design features additionally foster interest in order to engage with the topic. Moreover, our findings on aesthetic experience suggest that deep perceptual processes, such as emotion and cognitive stimulation induced by interfaces, further impact interest and learning. Thus, our study gives implications for the design of interest-generating and learning-supporting science apps for teenagers and emphasizes the significance to consider aesthetic experience in future research.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- Publikation“Grandma! Grandpa! Let`s play together!” – Effects of game mode in multiplayer video games on intergenerational social interaction: A randomized field study(JMIR Publications, 2022) Zahn, Carmen; Leisner, David; Niederhauser, Mario; Roos, Anna-Lena; Iseli, Tabea; Soldati, Marco [in: JMIR Formative Research]Maintaining social relationships is a basic human need and particularly essential in old age, including when living in a retirement home. Multiplayer video games can promote the establishment and maintenance of social relationships, due to facilitating positive social interactions between players, even from different generations. Such facilitation of positive social interactions depends, however, on specific game design. The present study investigates the impacts of three different game modes on social interaction in a controlled field trial. Results reveal significant differences. Important implications on game design and the use of computer games for seniors in practice are discussed.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
