Abstract(in English) Skills of collaboration with various people is increasingly required in the future society. The author focus on peer learning as one of the forms of collaborative learning to enhance such kind of skills. However, the methods to form pairs in the classroom has much room for improvement. Randomly forming pairs causes the variation of pair activity in wrong way and spends unnecessary time for lesson. Moreover, deciding the pair formation in advance for the class with many students who have a poor attendance record causes students with peer absent from the lesson. The author developed the pair formation optimization method using combinatorial optimization with genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. This method explores better pair formation as a solution based on learning performance and attendance rate of the students. Additionally, this method considers history of past pair formation to enable the students to learn with the different peer for each lesson. In this paper, the author compared this method with different combinatorial optimization algorithm and discuss research perspective for development of collaborative learning environment in the future.
