The Difference of Participatory Learning Strategies (within Groups - between Groups) Based on Cloud Computing Applications Has Influenced theDevelopment of Knowledge Management Skills among Middle School Students.

Participatory learning environments across the web have become a tangible reality with many advantages and possibilities that can be used and used in educational situations.Which led to the need to search for tools and standards that can be used in the construction and design of those environments. The current research sought to design two strategies for participatory learning (within clusters) based on cloud computing applications and to explore their impact on the development of knowledge management skills among middle school students. Cloud computing applications were Google Apps for Education, which included Gmail, Google Sites, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Social Network (Google+).
The study group consisted of 60 students from the Mala Hassan Al-Kandari School in Kuwait. They were divided into two experimental groups: the first used the participatory learning strategy within the groups, the second used the participatory learning strategy among groups, each with a total of 30 students. The descriptive approach was used to present and analyze previous studies, to arrive at a list of appropriate knowledge management skills for middle school students, and a semi-experimental approach to measure the impact of the pattern of difference in participatory learning strategies (within groups, between groups) based on cloud computing applications in developing knowledge management skills among middle school students.
The research tools of the Cognitive Knowledge Test and the Knowledge Management Skills Note were built to measure Ibrahim Ibrahim's self-assessment skills for knowledge management (2012). The results of the study showed that the students of the first experimental group who used the participatory learning strategy (within groups) surpassed their counterparts in the second experimental group who used the participatory learning strategy (between groups) in the post-implementation of the achievement test and the student performance observation card for knowledge management skills and knowledge management measure.
