Another important feature in this
dimension is to create co-operative learning environments in order
to activate students to articulate their thoughts, connecting them to
what has been discussed in the group before (Schelfhout et al., 2006).
Studies on the effect of activation towards self-regulated learning
have shown the importance of activating teaching activities to reach
in-depth learning and to construct a well-organised body of
knowledge in a more active way (e.g., Biemans, 1997; Bonwell &
Eison, 1992; Schunk, 2001).
