Cooperative learning processes in solving tasks related to a game theory activity

The purpose of this paper is focused on analysis of the implementation of problem solving and argumentation processes in game theory activities. In particular, we studied the ef- fectiveness of groupwork solution processes and the planning of strategies to solve the tasks. Moreover, we studied group and individual performances. It was possible to highlight how col- lective work can help produce a better performance and how it influences the emotions of stu- dents. Collective activities make it possible to build a shared knowledge and to support the de- velopment of individual metacognition.
