Title of Research: Culturally Situated Self-Regulated Learning in Statistics in a Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Environment
Researcher: Yongchao Shi, Ph.D. candidate, Educational and Counseling Psychology Supervisor: Carl Frederiksen (tel: 514-398-3448); Krista Muis (tel: 514-398-3445)
My contact Information: Tel: 514-3984255 (office), 514-907-6290 (home); email: yongchao.shi@mail.mcgill.ca
Purpose of the research: Our purpose is to find how people from different cultural backgrounds meet their challenges in learning statistics in a computer-supported collaborative learning environment. You will learn in pairs for about two hours to solve a statistics problem with help of a computer tutor. Your performance on the learning tasks will be recorded and compared to that from other participants who have a different cultural background in order to see differences and similarity in terms of perception, feelings, and strategies when all of you learn to solve the statistics problem. This research represents the core phase of the writing of my dissertation.
Benefits of participation: First, it will provide data that can help other students who have similar learning experiences by contributing to our research knowledge base. Second, you may use the tutor to update your statistics knowledge which is required in many research professions and academic fields. Third, your learning processes will be analyzed in detail so that you can get feedback on them at the end of the study. This information may be beneficial for you in helping you to meet the challenges of learning in academic environments. Finally, you will be paid for your valuable time of participation ($10/h).
Participation criteria: Each participant has to: (a) be a male undergraduate or graduate student in McGill or Concordia; (b) speak English fluently enough to pursue further studies; (c) have taken an elementary statistics course (e.g. you've know concepts such as standard deviation and T-test) and be interested in updating your knowledge about data analysis; (d) be a Chinese student or an Anglophone Canadian student. A Chinese student here refers to a participant who was born in Mainland China, mainly speaks Chinese at home, and has less than five years of learning experience outside China. An Anglo-Canadian student refers to a participant who were born in Canada or the U.S. , whose father or mother was born in Canada or the U.S., and who mainly speak English at home. Only male participants were selected in this study because at this stage of the research gender differences are not the focus and need to be controlled.
Confidentiality: Your participation is entirely voluntary and you can choose to withdraw from the study if you should decide that you do not wish to participate further. All individual data are strictly confidential. No participants’ names will be used or identified in subsequent reports.
Participation: The Research will be conducted in the Laboratory of Applied Cognitive Science Group in the Education Building of McGill University. You will be asked to read this form carefully before you sign this form.

寻求愿意参与本研究的同学
我们正在寻求愿意参与本研究的同学来学习数据分析的内容。作为参与者，你应该：
（1）是麦吉尔大学或康考迪亚大学的男性本科生或研究生（注：女生学习和性别差异将是本人下一个研究的重点，而在本研究中这种差异则需要控制，以突出文化对学习的制约作用）；
（2）能够用英语清楚地表达自己以寻求高层次的学习；
（3）已经专修过初级统计的课程(比如已经知道标准差和T检验）并对更新自己的数据分析知识感兴趣。
（4）是从中国大陆过来的中国学生或者是在北美出生的英裔学生. 这里的英裔学生是指出生于美国或加拿大, 在家以英语为主要的交流语言。这里的中国学生是指出生于中国大陆，在家或宿舍主要以汉语为沟通工具，并具有少于五年的海外学习经历。
本实验大约需要2小时，每小时补助10加元。您的学习过程将会被记录和分析，以便在实验结束后您可以得到学习的反馈，而这种反馈将有助于您迎接未来学习的挑战。你也会得到许可继续使用我们的软件学习数据分析的知识。您可以点击本网页左上角的SCHEDULE以选定你方便的期末考试前后的任何参与时间。如果您有特殊的时间要求，还可以用电子邮件（yongchao.shi@mail.mcgill.ca)发信给我，以定下您最终的参与时间。本实验由麦大教育与咨询心理学系资深教授C. Frederiksen 和 K. Muis进行指导，我们恭候您的光临。

We are looking for participants who wish to learn data analysis. Each participant has to:
(a) be a male undergraduate or graduate student in McGill or Concordia;
(b) speak English fluently enough to pursue further studies;
(c) have taken an elementary statistics course (e.g. you've know concepts such as standard deviation and T-test) and be interested in updating your knowledge about data analysis;
(d) be a Chinese student or an Anglophone Canadian student. A Chinese student here refers to a participant who was born in Mainland China, mainly speaks Chinese at home, and has less than five years of learning experience outside China. An Anglo-Canadian student refers to a participant who was born in Canada or the U.S. , whose father or mother was born in Canada or the U.S., and who mainly speak English at home.
Only male participants will be selected in this study because gender differences are not the focus at this stage of the research and need to be controlled. The experiment takes about 2 hours in general and compensation is $10 per hour. Your learning processes will be recorded and analyzed in detail so that feedback will be available in helping you meet the challenges of learning in the future. You will also be authorized to use our software to learn statistics at home. Hours are flexible. You can click the SCHEDULE URL at the top left corner of the website to book your convenient time. You can also contact me through email yongchao.shi@mail.mcgill.ca for participation if you have special needs. This study is supervised by Prof. C. Frederiksen and K. Muis of McGill Educational and Counseling Psychology.
