Intervention Design Model and Its Application of Blended Collaborative Learning Design Research

Abstract

The key of effective implementation of Blended Collaborative Learning (BCL) design research is intervention design. Referring to the expansive learning analysis matrix and the formative intervention thought, according to the spiral propulsive design research method logic circle model, focusing on characteristics of facing the real situation, multiple variables, complex relationships, long period, and so on in BCL design research, this paper constructed its intervention design model. This model firstly proposed intervention programs based on four basic questions (who learn, why learn, what to learn, how to learn) on BCL and then took five principles (the principle of activity unit, the principle of multiple perspectives, the principle of historical starting point, the principle of contradiction driving, the principle of expanding circulation) of activity theory as a basis for the intervention design, and then designed the specific content of each intervention, and finally summarized results of design of intervention programs based on actual needs. From 2006 to 2016, BCL iterative design and practice show that the model is scientific, practical, and effective.
