Abstract
Socio-cultural theories of learning argue that peer collaboration facilitates student learning. To justify the applicability of the theories, an experimental study was conducted to address the question of whether peer collaboration would affect students’ performance of regression modelling tasks. Fifty-eight students were randomly assigned to groups A, B, or C. There were four stages in the study; students in groups A and B were allowed to have peer discussions about the workflow of a regression modelling in Stages I and III respectively, whereas students in Group C worked on their own in both stages. In Stage II or IV, all students in these three groups attempted the questions individually. It was found that peer collaboration might improve students’ performance of regression modelling tasks involving model assessment and statistical significance and interpretation of regression estimates, but not the straight-forward tasks of Excel programming, R2 (regression heuristics) reporting, and model selection.
