Technology-mediated collaborative learning: theoretical contributions based on analysis of educational practice

<p>Collaborative learning has been a subject of great interest in the context of educational research, giving rise to many studies emphasizing the potential of the collaboration process in student learning, knowledge building, the development of diverse abilities and improved academic performance. Based on a conceptual review and thorough reflection on this topic, this article presents the results of a case study carried out in different schools in the Autonomous Community of Castile y Leon (Spain) in an attempt to identify patterns of common action through the implementation of collaborative learning methods mediated by information and communication technologies (<span>ICT</span>). Among the many outcomes of this study, we conclude by highlighting the need to plan collaborative work very carefully, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by <span>ICT</span> as communicative environments where it is possible to construct joint and shared learning.</p><div> </div>
