My focus is about Extraversion and Introversion Students and their Perception on collaborative learning.

I'm working with cognitive and social-emotional complexity, via a profile tool use on MBA and PhD students that breaks down how they think in context. I'm not a fan of the Big Five, so my response would be more detailed in that Extroversion and Introversion can be broken down further into a combination of Thinking Preferences. In my experience of over 120 student profiles, the tendency for collaboration is low.
The MBTI system in the above link is not useful. It's a horoscope in my experience. For example: does a person prefer to be an Individualist or a Team Member? Those two Thinking Preferences alone will give you more information than any MBTI "profile".
Feel free to contact me.
Dear Kiawnuka.
You ask whether the personality of an individual has an influence on the perception of collaborative learning among students.
It seems obvious that the personality of an individual has an influence on the perception of collaborative learning among students. As I see it, it is likely that extroverted individuals assessed through Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire or Inventory look at cooperative learning in a more positive way than their introverted counterparts.
Note that I say "cooperative", not "collaborative", learning. Collaboration reminds me of collaborationism, or collaboration with our own country's enemy. Thus, I think that we should speak about cooperative, not collaborative, learning. As Wittgenstein once remarked, conceptual clarification is needed for an empirical research to make sense. Actually, a research performed in an atmosphere of conceptual confusion rarely, if ever, clarifies anything. If I were you I would speak of cooperative learning not of collaborative learning. Of course, this is only a suggestion. It is up to you to choose between cooperative and cooperative learning.
Best regards,
Orlando
