Mapping, Clarifying, and Communicating Key Ideas about Collaborative Learning to STEM Audiences

Through this literature synthesis project, Digital Promise is developing methods and a model to help close the gap between research and practice while centering equity. Our approach is to map 13,000+ collaborative learning and computer-supported collaborative learning articles with a bibliometric tool. This map will ground conversations between researchers, K-12 practitioners, and equity experts as they clarify key ideas that are important to research and practice (using a modified Delphi Method approach). Researchers and practitioners together will create short primers to communicate key ideas and translate research findings to practice.
