Trends in distance education show a
growing emphasis in collaborative learning,
stimulating students to exchange ideas and
knowledge, In a collaborative environment, how
effectively this unique knowledge is shared and
assimilated by the group affects both the process
and the product of the collaboration. Zn this
paper, we applies Hidden Markov Models, to
analyze and assess sequences of students'
interaction. These analysis techniques are used
to train a system to recognize when students are
having trouble learning the new concepts they
share with each other, and why they are having
trouble. The results of this paper could be used
to inform and assist an intelligent instructional
agent in facilitating knowledge sharing
interaction, by mediating situations in which
groups of students collaborate to share their
knowledge, and helping to improve the quality
of learning interaction.

effectively this unique knowledge is shared and

multidimensional scaling with a threshold-based
clustering method, to analyze and assess
sequences of students' interaction. These

This study is a research using a
combination of quantitative and qualitative
methods in studying team learning of students in
the subject Advertising and Public Relations.
Students will evaluate the satisfaction of their
team projects in class. The research was
conducted in the Advertising and Public
Relations class of 83 students during the second
semester of 2004 at the School of Industrial
Education and Technology, King Mongkut’s
University of Technology Thonburi.
The research showed team learning of
students in the subject Advertising and Public
Relations through their road show project to 6
schools in the Bangkok municipality. This class
project can be divided into four stages namely
project preparation, design, implementation, and
the evaluation. Results show that students from
the six schools are satisfied with the presentation
of the project, methodology of information
presentation, and ability of the speaker in
providing information (average score 4.20, 4.19,
and 4.15 respectively). The overall satisfaction
with the road show is rated good at the 4.01.
The study also found that through the
activities in the Advertising and Public Relations
class which used the concept of team learning,
students were satisfied with communications
among peers, developing team work, and
learning as a team (average score 4.58, 4.47, and
4.35 respectively). The overall satisfaction of the
class is high at 4.02.
The in-depth interview revealed that
students were highly satisfied with the teaching
methodology involving team learning, which is
one of the five tenets of a learning organization.
