EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISON BETWEEN THREE MODALITIES OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED TEACHING

The objective of this experiment is to compare three teaching situations where communication is computer-assisted. The following models are tested: expositive (according to Ausubel's view), participation-guided (in Vygotsky's constructivism tradition), and collaborative (in Piaget's constructivism). Experimental design includes pre-test and post-test for independent samples. Teaching units are groups of 3 or 4 students of Psychology. The teaching subject is the right solution for three logical problems. Data analyses take into account the right responses in the individual post-test and their logical foundation. Results are analysed on the basis of the distinction between axiomatic logic and psychological logic. Reference to data of the individual questionnaire about the experimental session is given at the end of the paper.
