Abstract

This study aims to identify factors related to the implementation of the collaborative approach in the electronic environment. The data from this study was extracted using a qualitative approach (phenomenological method) and a partially structured interview tool, and the data were analyzed using a coding method. The sample for this study was intentional, and 15 experts participated in the study. To test for validity, face validity was used, and to test reliability, the two-researcher cognitive fit index was used. The results of the analysis made it possible to identify 14 categories and three main components. Identified categories: university culture, financial resources, human resources, information and communication technologies, support system, taking responsibility for learning, motivational beliefs, creativity and problem solving, beliefs about collaborative learning, having technological tools in an e-learning environment, having specialized knowledge. Psychological features, features of a participatory approach, and classroom management in the electronic environment have been divided into three main components: teacher-related factors, student-related factors, and university-related factors. Based on the findings, this study presented proposals for higher education institutions and decision-makers.
