Lecture Notes in Computer Science- P38:This year, we received about 170 submissions to ICWL 2008. There were a total of 52 full papers, representing an acceptance rate of about 30%, plus one invited paper accepted for inclusion in this LNCS proceedings. The authors of these accepted papers | 174 . Regueras et al. presented in Table 1. These data show that students satisfaction was not found significantly different between the two groups competitive and non-competitive students. This indicates that the hypothesis H1 is not supported as although the level of students satisfaction with QUESTournament is higher for competitive students than for non-competitive students this difference is not significant. In addition and in spite of the fact that QUESTournament is a competitive tool only 19 of students defined themselves as competitive. A similar analysis has been done for the second hypothesis. Results are presented in Table 2. In this case students satisfaction was found non-significantly different between the two groups participative and non-participative students. Thus the hypothesis H2 is not supported as the level of satisfaction of participative students is not significantly different from that of non-participative students. Table 1.
