| Abstract: | The current study aimed to design and validate a questionnaire for assessing university students' inclination towards a small-group learning approach during group assignments, specifically focusing on two key approaches: collaborative learning (CL) and cooperative learning (CoL). Developing this questionnaire is crucial while higher education instructors design group assignments incorporating defined learning goals and students frequently utilize an unsuitable small-group learning approach that does not align with these learning goals. Hence, instructors encounter difficulty in assessing how students typically approach the assignment, as the students' manner of approaching the small-group learning assignment is still a black box for instructors. Gaining insights into students' tendency for either CL or CoL during small-group learning equips instructors to make informed pedagogical decisions, enabling them to offer guidance as needed. The current paper described the development of the Student’s Tendency between Collaborative and Cooperative Learning Questionnaire (STCCLQ. The final questionnaire contains a set of 14 paired items. Each pair consists of one item related to a CL characteristic and one item related to a CoL characteristic. After conducting the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), a three-factor solution was successfully identified. These three factors represent the following constructs: “Cognitive and Interpersonal demands”, “Structure”, and “Involvement Instructor”. |
