Abstract
Collaborative learning is a way in which students can obtain the knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and behaviour to work in diverse environments. However, collaborative learning in education tends to emphasise cognitive domains more than social domains. The negation of social domains in collaborative learning can overlook collaboration processes in ethnically diverse groups. Hence, this study aimed at understanding the extent to which ethnically (culturally) diverse individuals differ in their perceptions and preferences for social and cognitive assessment criteria in diverse or non-diverse CL groups. This study consisted of a total of 99 participants, 55 of whom were categorised as individualistic and 44 as collectivists. The research questions were investigated by conducting a MANOVA and ANOVA analysis. The results showed that; 1) collectivists were more open to diversity than individualists, and 2) individualists preferred more social domains of assessment criteria regardless of whether they were in a diverse group or not compared to collectivists. There were no significant findings between collectivists and individualists in their preference for collaborative learning. The results suggest that individuals’ ethnic culture, as well as the ethnic culture of the whole group, is considered in collaborative learning by emphasising social domains of assessment criteria. Keywords: collaborative learning, assessment criteria, social domains, cognitive domains, ethnic diversity, collectivists, individualists.
