Table 5 Extraction of teaching learning elements from instructional strategies based on collective intelligence

From: The development and validation of the GI-ALE instructional model for the emerging collective intelligence of the scientifically gifted student

Factors for collective intelligence

Instructional strategies

Teaching learning elements

Shared vision and value

Learners are highly motivated to perform tasks based on their interests

Activities needed for science and engineering career

Intrinsic motivation

Set the purpose of group activity by learners

Ensure students have autonomous learning rights

Applied to experimental subject (e.g., chemistry experiment)

Open inquiry experiment activity

Domain-specific knowledge

Select practical and practical tasks

Utilizing advanced scientific experiment equipment

Use real-life materials and cutting-edge science

Diversity of knowledge

Pursue the diversity of useful knowledge such as scientific concepts and experimental techniques necessary for scientific activities

By organizing a small group in the classroom, perform independent experiment for each group

Construction of knowledge-sharing system

Share learning outcomes and use them as materials for other tasks

Open a cafe or use a homepage to build a system where all members can share their knowledge and experience

Online use; all subgroups carry all the reports on the school homepage

Decentralization and integration (dynamic interaction)

Class objectives are the same, but use a broader range of learning objectives

Leaners are given autonomy to participate independently in decision making

Emphasize collaboration by organically connecting tasks among subgroups

Build trust based on the responsibility of each learner

Develop agility through opportunities to improvise the problems that occur in learner-centered activities

Make an environment to exchange learners’ knowledge, experience, information, opinions, and dynamic interaction such as knowledge connection (Learning space, learning time, SNS utilization, expansion of learning resources, etc.)

Set a wide range of learning goals

Give cooperative interdependence

Create collective report: Learning outcomes used as a preparation for performance assessment

Grant small subgroup selection option

Opening of laboratory and advanced science laboratory

Activity period secured at least one month per device

The basic experiment is to prepare the students themselves

Present the content of pre- and post-experiment reports

Synergy effect (evaluation of usability of output)

Students have the opportunity to reflect on individuals and groups

Reconfigure the results of other subgroups in their own way

Internalization of knowledge

Expand students’ own experience

Rules or rewards for fulfilling responsibilities

Evaluate the result reports obtained through integration between subgroups and between classes and revise and complement them

Lead them to develop new inquiry tasks

Organize learning content in own way

Performance assessment
