Abstract
This paper is a report on a study, which investigated group learning processes in computer supported collaborative concept mapping. Thirty 5th grade Taiwanese students were selected to attend a computer mediated collaborative concept mapping activity. According to the analysis of the students' discourse record and group concept maps, it was found that the students took different approaches to develop their group concept maps. In addition, different collaborative mapping approaches generated different concept maps. The findings suggest that students in a computer mediated collaborative concept mapping activity should be guided or instructed to undertake some particular approach to generate satisfactory maps.
