“…This allows us to affirm that the collaborative method, using the Harry Potter theme, is more effective in comparison with the traditional method for teaching geometrically related content, as already pointed out by other researchers [39,40]. Furthermore, as can also be seen in other works, the collaborative method generated improvements in the attitudinal dimension [52], focusing on motivation [44,51], autonomy [49], collaboration [41,42], participation [50], resolution [47], and class time. In relation to the mathematical dimension, the fact of using an active teaching method, in which the student is the centre of his or her teaching and learning process, meant an improvement in the acquisition of concepts, scientific data, graphs, results, and outcomes to be adopted [20].…”

“…This research will focus on the study of attitudinal and mathematical dimensions. The choice of these dimensions is justified in the analysis of previous works reported from the impact literature, where the influence caused by the application of collaborative learning in the pedagogical development of mathematics is studied [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. Therefore, in order to follow the path followed in previous research, we have chosen to make use of these two dimensions.…”

Nowadays, education requires changes in the teaching and learning processes, through the implementation of innovative and motivating pedagogical actions, owing to the existing needs in society. Education, owing to the current needs of society, requires changes in the teaching and learning processes through the implementation of innovative and motivating pedagogical actions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the collaborative method, based on the Harry Potter theme, with respect to the traditional method in the first year of Obligatory Secondary Education for the learning of geometric figures in the subject of mathematics. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental, quantitative, descriptive, and correlational study has been designed, using a standardized questionnaire as a technique to collect information. The sample is composed of 236 students from the first year of Obligatory Secondary Education distributed in eight groups (four control and four experimental) from a public high school in the city of Cádiz (Spain). The tests carried out show that collaborative learning generates improvements in the attitudes and mathematical dimensions. Therefore, the collaborative method, developed by means of the Harry Potter theme for students in the first year of Compulsory Secondary Education in the subject of mathematics, causes a better attitude of the student towards the teaching and learning process. Furthermore, it facilitates the acquisition of mathematical contents related to geometry, which does not directly affect the students’ grades because, although those of the experimental group are better than those obtained by the control group, the differences between the two are minimal.

“…Interestingly, this type of teaching method is normally positively viewed by students [28,29], due to the fact that it improves interactions and contact with teachers [30,31], promotes communication amongst equals [32], motivation [33], community membership [34], the development of activities [35], interest [36], autonomy [37], and an active participation in the process of learning [38].…”

The study refers to collaborative writing. The main objective of this study is to show the effects of collaborative writing in the acquisition of the English language upon students of non-compulsory secondary education. The applied study is grounded on a quantitative focus of correlational character and descriptive basis, while applying a quasi-experimental design with a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). The results show that there is a significant relation that favors the method of collaborative writing upon the dimensions of feedback, motivation, collaboration, satisfaction, and ratings. It can be concluded that the collaborative writing method is effective if compared to the individual learning method.

“…This teaching methodology requires two or more people who, thanks to the sharing of various resources and skills, can acquire the curricular elements proposed. This methodology encourages the development of other skills in students, such as interaction, communication, problem solving, motivation, sense of community, and autonomy, among other aspects [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. In addition, the collaborative learning method promotes and facilitates the acquisition of knowledge in areas of study where sustainable development is essential [65][66][67][68][69].…”

“…Among the advantages shown by recent research is that the teaching and learning process based on collaborative learning is positively valued by students [38,39], improves their interactions and communications [40,41], promotes communication among equals, increases their attitude [42], motivation [43], sense of community [44,45], the realization of pedagogical exercises [46], the mental situation of the student [47], and autonomy [48], actively involving him in his pedagogical acts to improve his interaction [49]. Some authors indicate that this method can contribute to improve students' behavior and attitudes, and can influence their monitoring of learning [50,51].…”

Currently, more and more teachers decide to follow active teaching methods, leaving behind traditional teaching methods. Among the most used pedagogical methods in the educational field is the collaborative learning. The general objective of the present investigation is to know the performance and academic development of the term "collaborative learning" in the documents collected in the Web of Science database. The research method developed was based on a bibliometric study, identifying academic performance and conceptual development, through a co-word analysis. Particularly, we have pursued four main objectives: (a) To determine the degree of performance of documents collected from collaborative learning; (b) to identify the scientific development of so-called collaborative learning; (c) to analyze the most incidental aspects of collaborative learning; and (d) to value the most representative authors who are experts in the use of collaborative learning. The total number of manuscripts studied is 3295. The results show the manuscripts are written mainly in English by researchers who belong from the United States. The main area of knowledge is Education Educational Research. As a conclusion, it can be said that the collaborative learning pedagogical method is at a turning point in the scientific field. Its scientific evolution, focused on its principles in the students themselves, has extended to other branches. At present, studies are oriented towards technological resources, co-regulation, and the academic achievements of students. Furthermore, in the coming years the terms innovation, design, patterns, collaboration, and communication will probably be the new lines of study in this scientific field.
