Chung EDUCATION2017514 10.12691/education-5-1-4 2016 7 15 2016 11 17 2017 1 8 This study investigated the impact of a collaborative learning intervention on students' self-efficacy, social skills and knowledge toward mobile apps development. Twenty-nine undergraduate students were recruited for participation in the research study. They participated in a 12-week collaborative learning intervention. The self-efficacy for learning and performance scales from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and Social Skills Inventory were used to evaluate students' self-efficacy in mobile apps development and social skills respectively. A knowledge of mobile apps assessment form was designed to assess a student's knowledge in mobile apps development. The results revealed that students experienced a significant increase in knowledge of mobile apps. However, collaborative learning only has a small positive effect on a student's self-efficacy and social skills. Implications for practice and research are provided for future study.
