創造力、問題解決及批判思考是二十一世紀重要的關鍵能力，許多國家也都嘗試以這些能力的培養為重要的教育目標。本研究主要目的在於探討在課堂中運用混成合作學習模式，亦即結合課堂授課及線上合作活動，對於學生在創造力、問題解決傾向及批判思考傾向的影響。本研究的實驗是在臺灣北部某所大學的大眾傳播通識課程進行，參與實驗的學生為59名來自不同學科領域的大學生。學生的活動內容包括課前線上觀看科普影片、課中進行競賽測驗及小組討論、課後進行線上討論來完成對教師指定的影片的分析與評論報告。從研究結果發現，透過混成合作學習的模式，能夠讓學生在團體中發展良好的創造力、問題解決和批判思考傾向。

The main purpose of this study is to explore the impact of using a blended cooperative learning model in the classroom, that is, combining classroom instruction and online cooperative activities, on students’ creativity, problem solving tendencies, and critical thinking. This research is an experiment conducted in a general education course in mass communication at a university in northern Taiwan. The students participating in the experiment were 59 college students from different disciplines. Students’ activities include online viewing of science videos before the class, conducting quizzes and group discussions in the class, and online group discussion for completing a report of analyzing a video specified by the teacher after the class. From the research results, it was found that the blended cooperative learning model enables students to develop good creativity, problem solving and critical thinking tendencies in groups.
