Abstract (De)
The evolution of the networked society leads to new demands for educational institutions and companies such as increasing cooperation among employees or the spreading of communication technology. Accordingly, vocational education has to come up with new approaches to address these challenges. Research has shown computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) to be a suitable learning method, however, up to now, there is hardly any evidence of its usage in vocational education. This paper aims at narrowing this research gap by proposing a holistic CSCL approach suitable for vocational education and reporting on first experiences
with this approach. The learning design was tested with 700 students in 135 teams. As a result, a tentative model of computer-supported collaborative learning in vocational education is proposed.
