Diagnosing and intervening in teams: Personalising collaborative problem-simulations based on individual- and group-level characteristics (B05)

• Subject Area: General and Domain-Specific Teaching and Learning
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 542251251

B05 investigates how personalised simulations for collaborative problem-solving (CPS) tasks in higher education can enhance social learning processes and diagnostic skills. The project will start with a meta-analytic study, followed by extensive video data analyses. To identify individual- and group-level prerequisites that affect group performance and learning in collaborative settings and to investigate the conditions for effective personalised scaffolding for social learning processes and CPS performance, two experimental studies will be conducted. A taxonomy of critical situations and an assessment tool for social learning processes will be advanced.
