Analyzing Cooperative Learning Thematically: An Exploratory Case Study With A Composite Qualitative Model, Zhidong Zhang, Liza Ramos
Analyzing Cooperative Learning Thematically: An Exploratory Case Study With A Composite Qualitative Model, Zhidong Zhang, Liza Ramos

This study explores how educators implement Cooperative Learning (CL) in their teaching methods through an exploratory case study using Saldana's model (2016) as the initial coding framework. Thematic coding, guided by Segev's semantic analysis techniques (2022), uncovered diverse perspectives among participants, highlighting various themes supporting CL models. Nevertheless, a consistent theme that emerged was the central concept of CL within the semantic analysis graph. The amalgamation of semantic analysis and thematic coding combined open and theoretical coding for a comprehensive understanding of the data. Furthermore, the incorporation of semantic discourse evidence strengthened the analysis, resulting in a theoretical representation of …

The Exploratory Sequential Design With Generalized Linear Models For The Learning Strategy Analysis, Zhidong Zhang, Liza Ramos
Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications and Presentations
The researchers explored a mixed methods research design through the analysis of a set of interview data. Saldana’s model was utilized to complete the opening coding data and thematic coding data. Three themes were recognized to support the cooperative learning models. These included: a) Knowing by Undergone Events and Contexts, b) Implementation and Action, and c) Opinions and Perceptions, which consisted of a Cooperative Learning Model (CLM). The frequencies of the terms and phrases consisted of the evidence variables. A generalized linear model (GeLM) was utilized to examine the relationship between the three themes and Cooperative Learning Model. The GeLM …

Exploring A Cooperative Learning Model With A Mixed Methods Design, Zhidong Zhang, Liza Ramos

The exploratory sequential design was used in this study. The mixed methods design consisted of two modules: a qualitative module and a quantitative module. The qualitative module was used to code the data into categories and further into the structure in terms of Saldana’s model. Based on the analysis of the interview transcripts, three themes were recognized to support the cooperative learning models. These three themes were Knowing by Undergone Events and Contexts (KUEC), Implementation and Action (I&A), and Opinions and Perceptions (OP). These three themes consisted of a Collaborative Learning Model describing and evaluating different topic patterns.
