Abstract
Successful collaborative learning is not always guaranteed as it is associated with many issues, specifically those related to social-emotional challenges.
Therefore, students need support during their group work to prevent or deal with these specific issues. The research question is: How can we support students
in addressing socio-emotional issues during online group learning? The Group concept mapping (GCM) method was used to answer this question. The analyses
resulted in a conceptual map containing six themes for group work support, namely: training of collaborative skills, group emotion regulation, socializing and
evaluating, course design, online supporting tools, and teacher moderation. Training of collaborative skills and course design were the most important and most
feasible themes according to the participants. In conclusion, the conceptual model forms a basis for a co-creational design that is based on students’ and
teachers’ perspectives to support online group work.
