“…Preferring individuals with the feeling of responsibility will naturally help decrease students' workloads in their group works. Also, in one study, it was found that friendship relations play an important role in forming a group if students form their groups on their own (Moreno, Ovalle, & Vicari, 2012). Lastly, past experiences and adaptation to team work were also among the characteristics considered to be important by the students.…”

The purpose of this study was to reveal the attitudes and views of university students about the use of Edmodo as a cooperative learning environment. In the research process, the students were divided into groups of 4 or 5 within the scope of a course given in the department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology. For each group, Edmodo small groups were formed, and the students used these Edmodo small groups to share and communicate with their group friends in relation to the group tasks assigned to them within the scope of the study. This process lasted one academic term. As the data collection tool, an online cooperative learning attitude scale and a semi-structured interview form were used. At the end of the academic term, 15 students were interviewed about their cooperative learning experiences within the scope of the course as well as about how they made use of Edmodo in the process. The results demonstrated that the students had positive attitudes towards online cooperative learning. The findings obtained via the qualitative data analysis were examined under the headings of "social networks used", "preferences of forming groups", "communication within group" and "views about the courses executed via Edmodo".

“…The researcher has modeled a fitness function with fairness and equity in terms of members performance to ensure the fair formation, which means each group has various knowledge levels of the members. Moreno Moreno et al (2012) with his group suggested using genetic algorithms to form groups with multiple attributes. They have formulated the grouping problem into multiobjective optimization problem under combinatorial scenario.…”

“…A maioria dos trabalhos, sendo eles 42%, apresenta um método para formação de grupos baseado no contexto da interação dos estudantes em atividades colaborativas [33,42,40,18,22,16,23,19,30,24,37,28]. Em seguida, 34% dos trabalhos têm foco em otimização de algoritmos para formar os grupos [21,39,34,41,26,43,35,32,27,15]. Há também abordagens que buscam formar grupos com base no Estilo de Aprendizagem dos estudantes (11%) [20,31,17].…”

“…De forma geral, eles propõem grupos homogêneos e/ou heterogêneos em relação a determinadas características. Verificou-se que 45% dos trabalhos propõem tipos de grupos como heterogêneos em relação aos dados do perfil do aluno, tais como a turma, a região em que se encontra, o gênero, o tipo de personalidade ou o nível de habilidade, como por exemplo a habilidade com programação [33,21,36,34,41,43,35,28,16,22,24,29,37]. Em seguida, tem-se 28% que considera o tipo de grupo heterogêneo e homogêneo por desempenho em atividade de colaboração, obtido pelo nível de interação entre os estudantes [25,38,42,23,19,40,30,27].…”
