Abstract

This study is based on the hypothesis that group cohesion and efficacy have significant effects on the academic performance of individuals in online (virtual) education environments no less than in-person education environments. To that end, this study explores the effectiveness of group activities in a virtual classroom environment using VC (Virtual Conferencing). It is based on a hypothesis that strong group cohesion and efficacy of a learning group influence the individual academic performance. The findings are as follows. First, team-building activities conducted in an online environment can further improve the level of group efficacy. Second, group cohesion formed in the online educational environment has a positive effect on the individual academic performance. Third, group efficacy amplified through online team-building activities mediate the relationship between group cohesion and individual academic performance. The results of the study support the hypothesis that psychological group variables can also affect the individual academic performance even in online educational environments. These findings will be helpful for researchers who are interested in designing educational collaborative activities and system development for computer-supported cooperative learning (CSCL).

团队建设对虚拟学习环境中小组凝聚力、小组效能和个人学习成绩的影响

本研究基于这样一个假设：在在线（虚拟）教育环境中，小组凝聚力和效能对个人学习成绩的影响不亚于面对面教育环境。为此，本研究探讨了在虚拟课堂环境中使用 VC（虚拟会议）开展小组活动的有效性。研究基于这样一个假设：学习小组的强大凝聚力和效率会影响个人的学习成绩。研究结果如下。首先，在网络环境中开展的团队建设活动能进一步提高小组效能水平。第二，在线教育环境下形成的团体凝聚力对个人学习成绩有积极影响。第三，通过在线团队建设活动放大的群体效能感对群体凝聚力和个人学业成绩之间的关系起着中介作用。研究结果支持了这一假设，即即使在在线教育环境中，群体心理变量也会影响个人学业成绩。这些发现将对有志于设计教育协作活动和计算机支持的合作学习（CSCL）系统开发的研究人员有所帮助。
