Our CSCL: Impacting or Being Impacted -- An Investigation of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning among High School Students in Shanghai

Via the survey based on 400 eleventh grade students from five distinct high schools in Shanghai, we learned about the actual situation of CSCL and its connection with high-school level courses in Shanghai. Through this research, we found that the electronic equipment is not a restricted factor for CSCL in high schools of Shanghai any more. On the other hand, it is shown that the teachers were not totally capable of combining the information technology and course teaching, hardly satisfying students' demand and need. Furthermore, it is observed that the CSCL takes on different forms at different levels of schools and among kinds of students. Therefore, by our research and investigation, we note that the ways of teaching and learning evaluation profoundly affects the choices of teaching and learning among the schools, the teachers and the students, which is just the reason that the high schools in Shanghai were not able to deeply and perfectly connect the information technology and the teaching.
