Abstract EN

This research aimed to investigate the effect of the interaction between the e-discussion style (E-DS) "controlled e- discussion (CE-D) / free e- discussion (FE-D)" and the e-discussion groups structure (E-DGS) "fixed groups structure (FGS) / variable groups structure (VGS)" in developing the problem-solving ability of graduate students through students' practice of problem-solving strategy by e- discussion environment.

the quasi-experimental method was used; the research sample consisted of (24) supplementary master’s students at King Abdulaziz university, which were randomly distributed into four equal groups, and according to the experimental design, four e- discussion environments on issues of digital transformation in education were developed.

the first was established on controlled e- discussion (CE-D) with a fixed structure of groups (FGS); the second on the free e-discussion environment (FE-D) with a fixed groups structure (FGS), and the third on the controlled e- discussion (CE-D) with the variable groups structure (VGS); the fourth is the free e-discussion environment (FE-D) with the variable groups structure (VGS).

the research tool was the scale of problem solving ability, and after conducting the main experiment of the research, the results showed the presence of statistically significant differences in favor of the controlled e- discussion group (CE-D), and the absence of statistically significant differences due to e- discussion groups structure (E-DGS), and the presence of a significant effect of the interaction between e- discussion style (E-DS) and the E-Discussion Groups Structure (E-DGS) in favor of the group experimental that exposed to the controlled e-discussion environment (CE-D) with the fixed groups structure (FGS), and based on the results reached, it can be recommended to use the controlled e-discussion environment (CE-D) in developing problem-solving skills with the interplay of fixed and variable groups Structure, especially if the results of future research support these results.
