Theoretical Framework

CL(Collaborative Learning)

TEL(Tecnlology Enhanced Learning )

IE(Inclusive Education)

Theoretical Framework (…)

CL: It a situation where members of group do the work together (Dillenbourg P. 1999). Collaboration requires cooperation (Ilknur I. 2011)

IE : It deals with acceptance of students for who they are, recognizing and valuing their variety identities and the diversity (e.g.: learning difficulties, anomalies, attainments….), arranging for them to learn together in mixed collaborating groups, giving them equal opportunities to the learning materials and helping them to achieve learning goals and outcomes(Ainscow, et al., 2006).

TEL :It is the situations in which technology is used to help people to learn (Goodyear, P. & Retails S., 2010). Technology can be used to overcome barriers to learning for all students (Florian, Hegarty , 2004)

Social constructivist, Dialogical and some principles of Trialogical are the learning theories (models) behind this study (Hakkarainen K., 2009 & Stahl, G. et al, 2006)
