Forming suitable learning groups is one of the factors that determine the efficiency of collaborative learning activities. However, only a few studies were carried out to address this problem in the mobile learning environments. In this paper, we propose a new approach for an automatic, customized, and dynamic group formation in Mobile Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (MCSCL) contexts. The proposed solution is based on the combination of three types of grouping criteria: learner’s personal characteristics, learner’s behaviours, and context information. The instructors can freely select the type, the number, and the weight of grouping criteria, together with other settings such as the number, the size, and the type of learning groups (homogeneous or heterogeneous). Apart from a grouping mechanism, the proposed approach represents a flexible tool to control each learner, and to manage the learning processes from the beginning to the end of collaborative learning activities. In order to evaluate the quality of the implemented group formation algorithm, we compare its Average Intra-cluster Distance (AID) with the one of a random group formation method. The results show a higher effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in forming homogenous and heterogeneous groups compared to the random method.

(Excerto) Olhando para o percurso do RadioActive, há uma ideia que parece ser transversal a todo o projeto. Referimo-nos a um princípio que chamaríamos de “identificação” e que foi determinante – é determinante – nos processos de investigação participativa. Falamos da identificação dos investigadores com os princípios da investigação-ação, da identificação das intervenções com as particularidades de cada contexto. Da imprescindível e progressiva identificação dos participantes com o projeto. Na verdade, sem esta multifacetada identificação é impossível pensar em resultados sustentáveis e persistentes. Investigadores e demais participantes têm de sentir que o projeto é “seu”, que os objetivos são “seus”, embora o façam necessariamente a velocidades diferentes. A aprendizagem, neste âmbito, expande-se sempre de dentro para fora, emerge dos interesses do sujeito e não de uma estrutura pré-concebida e imposta pelos que chegam (Ravenscroft et al., 2011), neste caso, os investigadores. Uma das diferenças das pesquisas participativas em relação às tradicionais é, precisamente, a atuação coletiva e não solitária do investigador. Os pesquisadores fazem parte de um processo participatório em que estão envolvidos numa estrutura (Cammarota & Fine, 2008: 5). Paulo Freire é o autor primordial em todos os projetos e países onde a RA101 foi aplicada. As suas concepções em torno da investigação-ação participativa tentam apontar sempre para uma ação e também para uma reflexão sobre os processos.

Higher education in Portugal, in the last forty years, has undergone profound changes with the enlargement of public higher education network, the appearance of new institutions, the quantity and the heterogeneity of students. The implementation of the Bologna Process in European community countries led to the redesign of higher education Portuguese courses as well as their corresponding curricula. In recent years, the use of Project-led education was one of the most significant changes in teaching and learning, particularly in engineering in higher education in Portugal. This teaching methodology encourages students and teachers to undertake new roles, new responsibilities and a new learning perspective. This study aims at understanding whether the role of the tutor is to be suitable to the needs and expectations of Project-led education students. These changes however are not only structural. At the University of Minho, new teaching and learning methodologies were adopted, which could guide the training of professionals on to the twenty-first century. The opportunity arising from the implementation of Project-led education in Engineering methodology was used in the University of Minho’s courses. This teaching method is intended to provide students with educational support programs that benefit the academic performance, allowing the opportunity to upgrade, train and develop the ability to study and learn more effectively. Through the Project-led education it is possible to provide students with techniques and procedures and develop the ability to communicate orally and in writing. Students and teachers have assumed new roles in the teaching-learning process allowing in one hand the students to explore, discover and question themselves about some knowledge and on the other hand the teachers to change to a tutor, a companion and to a student project guide. Therefore, surveys were analyzed, comprising questions about the most significant contribution of the tutor as well as if there are some initial expectations that have not been foreseen by the tutor.

Students have different ways for learning and processing information. Some students prefer learning through seeing while others prefer learning through listening; some students prefer doing activities while other prefer reflecting.Some students reason logically, while others reason intuitively, etc. Identifying the learning style of each student, and providing learning content based on these styles represents a good method to enhance the learning quality. However, there are no efforts onhow to detect the students’ learning styles in mobile computer supported collaborative learning (MCSCL) environments. We present in this paper new ways for automatically detecting the learning styles of students in MCSCL environments based on the learning style model of Felder-Silverman. The identified learning styles of students could be then stored and used at anytime toassign each one of them to his/her appropriate learning group.
