Popis: The paper presents an experimental study aimed at investigating the learning effectiveness of concept mapping in a computer supported collaborative problem solving design. The main assumption underlying this research is that shared cognition is a substantial for cognitive construction and reconstruction and that concept mapping is an effective tool for mediating computer supported collaboration. Based on the assumption that the form in which knowledge is shared influence strongly the process of building a shared cognition and hence – the effectiveness of collaborative learning, three scenarios of concept mapping mediated group interaction have been designed – Distributed, Moderated and Shared. These tree scenarios demonstrated differential effect towards different aspects of learning effectiveness both at a group and at an individual level. It is concluded that the mode of sharing and the form of knowledge, which students communicate are more important than the access to the distributed resources itself. The Sharing scenarios showed to be the most appropriate for establishing a supportive learning environment in computer supported collaborative problem solving.
