Designing and Implementing a Didactic System as an Educational Empowerment of Student Collaborative Learning in the University Studies

摘要

The two-folded nature of learning, cognitive and social, presents educators with a new problem : creating and implementing the didactic system that empowers learning through collaboration. The purpose of this article is to theoretically substantiate the didactic system which educationally empowers student collaborative learning. Extensive review of literature revealed three factors of educational empowerment: legitimacy – the foundation of the learning paradigm; the collaborative learning competence ; and inclusion in the learning process . Four areas are analyzed: context, content, educator , and learners . The findings and results are summarized by illustrating the phases of educational empowerment of collaborative learning and recommendations for its implementation.
