Abstract. Skilful collaborative problem-solving is becoming increasingly important in various life areas. However, researchers are still seeking ways to assess and foster this skill in individuals. In this study, we developed a computer-assisted assessment for collaborative behavior (COLBAS) following the experiment-based assessment of behavior approach (objective personality tests; Cattell, 1958 ). The instrument captures participants’ collaborative behavior in problem-solving tasks using the MicroDYN approach while participants work collaboratively with a computer-agent. COLBAS can thereby assess problem-solving and collaborative behavior expressed through communication acts. To investigate its validity, we administered COLBAS to 483 German seventh graders along with MicroDYN as a measure of individual problem-solving skills and questions regarding the motivation to collaborate. A latent confirmatory factor analysis suggested a five-dimensional construct with two problem-solving dimensions (knowledge acquisition and knowledge application) and three collaboration dimensions (questioning, asserting, and requesting). The results showed that extending MicroDYN to include collaborative aspects did not considerably change the measurement of problem-solving. Finally, students who were more motivated to collaborate interacted more with the computer-agent but also obtained worse problem-solving results.

Grammatical Error

The purpose of this research is to find the type of grammatical error in students’ writing descriptive text made by the seventh graders of junior high school in Cimahi.The population consists of five classes, and we took 20 students to be sample. The study found out that the types of grammatical error are: Omission, Addition,Misformation and Misordering. The total of each type of error are: Omission 39.34%, Misordering 28.68%, Addition 18.03%, and Misformation 13.93%. Based on the research, it can be assumed that students usually miss to put a word like to be must appear in a well-formed sentence. And the lowest frequently of error is misformation, it is because in descriptive text there are rarely use plural words.

Data Support

34 seventh graders were assigned to two groups according to developmental level as defined by role-taking ability. High role-takers exhibited greater self-image disparity than low role-takers. The data support the developmental formulation that self-image disparity is positively related to developmental status. These findings indicate a positive rather than an ominous relation between self-image disparity and psychological adjustment.
