Minimum entropy collaborative groupings: A tool for an automatic heterogeneous learning group formation

Abstract: For some decades now, theories on learning methodologies have advocated collaborative learning due to its good results in terms of effectiveness and learning types and its promotion of educational and social values. This means that teachers need to be able to apply different criteria when forming heterogeneous groups of students and to use automated techniques to assist them. In this study, we have created an approach based on complex network theory to design an algorithm called Minimum Entropy Collaborative G… Show more

“…This section provides a focused review of the types of group formations achievable through algorithms, specifically utilizing the algorithms mentioned earlier (such as GAs) and the required characteristic attributes to form groups with homogeneous or heterogeneous features according to optimization functions. As shown in Figure 6, 15% of the studies adopted homogeneous grouping methods [14,19,35], while 30% of the research opted for heterogeneous group-ing approaches [11,12,26,32,42,43]. Most notably, over half of the studies explored mixed grouping methods that combined both homogeneous and heterogeneous characteristics, highlighting the significance and prevalence of mixed grouping methods in current research.…”

Each of these algorithms was unique, having been independently developed and applied, including the variable neighborhood search algorithm [40], the k-means algorithm [19], the group algorithm [41], the cluster and prune method [42] and minimum entropy collaborative grouping [43]. The diverse selection of algorithms in these studies not only enriches the methodological landscape of group formation but also offers a broader perspective and potential solutions for addressing specific grouping challenges.…”
