A Relationship between the Pair Effect and the Learner Characteristic at Pair Work in Computer Literacy Education

Abstract

We have introduced pair works to university-level computer literacy education as opposed to the traditional one, standalone teaching. In this paper, in order to extract the learner characteristics factors that influence the pair work effects such as test-score improvement level, pair-work activity level and pair-work satisfaction level, we conducted two experimental pair work classes in computer literacy exercise courses. For the investigation, we used two main questionnaire surveys, TEGⅡ and GAMI as personality indexes. The result showed that the personality index has clear strong correlation with the degree of activity and degree of satisfaction in TEGⅡ and also to the degree of score elevation in GAMI. The personality score, obtained from the result, is useful for more effective pair combination.
