Abstract

In the present research, a study of collaborative learning in environmental education is carried out with Social Network Analysis (SNA), a social systems investigation technique, based on the mathematical theory of networks and graphs. Environmental groups are regarded as cooperative learning social systems, whose structure will be analyzed by creating and visualizing networks, computing network variables, and testing network and non-network variables correlations, in order to investigate ‘hidden’ social relationships, interactions and influences that are developed inside them.
