“…In addition, after conducting EFA on the initial questionnaire (WRO2019), the researchers found that the Problem-Solving dimension and the Collaboration Quality dimension were clustered within the same factor. The researchers finally combined the two dimensions into the Cooperative Solution dimension by consulting experts and reviewing literature (Abdu & Schwarz, 2020). The final run of EFA on the six-factor oblique solution with 24 items accounted for 75.67% of total variance (Table 3).…”

Many studies have examined the effects of robotics competitions, but few have investigated their effects on participants, especially from the perspectives of students, parents, and coaches. The researchers of this study developed and validated an instrument for exploring the impact of the World Robot Olympiad (WRO), a major international robotics competition, on participants from the perspectives of students, parents, and coaches. Through a literature review and expert discussion, the researchers proposed the first version of the questionnaire. After three years of data collection and three iterations as well as a reliability and validity analysis, factor analysis, and expert review, researchers developed an impact questionnaire for participants in WRO, which included 18 items in the following six dimensions: Learning Skill, Engineering Thinking, Emotional Engagement, Career Choice, Cooperative Solution, and Global Consciousness. Data from 636 valid responses revealed that the questionnaire has good reliability and validity and that students, parents, and coaches all highly valued the positive impact of WRO in 2019. Data analysis indicated that, by and large, students’ abilities have improved in various dimensions which were similar to those of previous research on robotics education and robotics competitions.

“…In the discussion process, at first, the teacher gave instructions for solving the questions, and then students were asked to have discussions with their group members. Problem-solving in mathematics involves formulating concepts and constructing new ideas [4]. Initially, students were focused on their respective activities when the discussion process began.…”

“…The effectiveness of mathematical learning needs to be observed from the quality of students' mathematical concepts understanding through the characteristic process. Problem-solving is one of the main crucial skills in mathematics learning as it is included in the mathematical framework [4]. In group discussion, problem-solving represents the ability of individuals to engage effectively with two or more students in solving problems using their various understandings.…”

Group discussions can help students have a more effective problem-solving process because students exchange ideas and understand the provided problems. Accuracy in solving problems can be observed from students' knowledge and metacognition. This study used the descriptive qualitative approach to describe the characterization of students' metacognition during their interactions in positioning expert students, facilitators, and beginners. Problemsolving in group discussions is very helpful in bringing up students' metacognitive activities because they do not use only self-metacognitive but also social metacognitive.
