Stegmann, Karsten; Kollar, Ingo; Weinberger, Armin; Fischer, Frank – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2016
In a recent paper, Pierre Tchounikine has suggested to advance the Script Theory of Guidance (SToG) by addressing the question how learners appropriate collaboration scripts presented to them in learning environments. Tchounikine's main criticism addresses SToG's "internal script configuration principle." This principle states that in…

Vogel, Freydis; Wecker, Christof; Kollar, Ingo; Fischer, Frank – Educational Psychology Review, 2017
Scripts for computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) offer socio-cognitive scaffolding for learners to engage in collaborative activities that are considered beneficial for learning. Yet, CSCL scripts are often criticized for hampering naturally emerging collaboration. Research on the effectiveness of CSCL scripts has shown divergent…

Vogel, Freydis; Kollar, Ingo; Ufer, Stefan; Reichersdorfer, Elisabeth; Reiss, Kristina; Fischer, Frank – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
Collaboration scripts and heuristic worked examples are effective means to scaffold university freshmen's mathematical argumentation skills. Yet, which collaborative learning processes are responsible for these effects has remained unclear. Learners presumably will gain the most out of collaboration if the collaborators refer to each other's…

Fischer, Frank; Kollar, Ingo; Stegmann, Karsten; Wecker, Christof – Educational Psychologist, 2013
This article presents an outline of a script theory of guidance for computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). With its 4 types of components of internal and external scripts (play, scene, role, and scriptlet) and 7 principles, this theory addresses the question of how CSCL practices are shaped by dynamically reconfigured internal…

Weinberger, Armin; Ertl, Bernhard; Fischer, Frank; Mandl, Heinz – Instructional Science: An International Journal of Learning and Cognition, 2005
Collaborative learning in computer-supported learning environments typically means that learners work on tasks together, discussing their individual perspectives via text-based media or videoconferencing, and consequently acquire knowledge. Collaborative learning, however, is often sub-optimal with respect to how learners work on the concepts that…
