Resumen: [EN] The main purpose of this research is checking the effectiveness of some
online collaborative learning techniques through the development and
implementation of a Google-based environment which will let us develop the
collaborative technique known as Jigsaw. The research has been carried out
on maths students of a school in the Principality of Asturias.28 students from
different school years and classes took part in the research and several
teachers at the school also participated in it. We have used a quasiexperimental
design with pre-test and post-test measures as well as an
equivalent control group. We have also carried out a detailed study of the
requirements needed to extract information about the problems of the
implementation of online collaborative activities in the classroom and about
the creation of such activities focused on the use of classroom blogs and
interactive animations. The results of the analysis show that a methodology
such as this exerts a positive influence not only on the students’ motivation
but also on their academic achievements’ the aims of the work, the main
results obtained, and the conclusions drawn.
