Effects of applying the BOPPPS-based collaborative online international learning model in a summer online course

The study investigated the effects of applying the BOPPPS-based collaborative online international learning (COIL) model, i.e., COIL-BOPPPS model, in a summer online course for international students. BOPPPS refers to six steps in lesson planning: Bridge, Objective, Pre-assessment, Participatory learning, Post-assessment, and Summary. The study assessed the model’s impact on students’ perception of the online learning method, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, and understanding of subject matter. The measures included self-reported familiarity with the subject matter, word cloud analysis, and knowledge tests. Results indicated significant improvement in students’ perception of online learning methods, particularly in an interactive and intercultural environment. The pre-test and post-test results showed that students significantly improved their understanding of the subject matter at the end of the course. These findings suggest promising effects of the COIL-BOPPPS model for online teaching and learning in an international setting.
