discussion and collaborative leaning, they could get problem solutions and deepen theircognitive understanding and thus develop the abilities of critical thinking and professionaljudgment.According to the results of the experiment, the peer evaluation has the lowest score amongthe three evaluation methods because of the competition among peers, while the self-evaluation and the expert evaluation share a similar score. Additionally, the analysis of thelearning behaviors show that most of the students with low creativity read and downloadedinformation in the learning system and interacted with peers in the platform to have diverseviews and enhance their abilities of self-efficacy analysis; the students with high creativitywere willing to seek, explore
