Fu, Ella L. F.; van Aalst, Jan; Chan, Carol K. K. – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2016
The goal of this study was to develop a classification for a range of discourse patterns that occur in text-based asynchronous discussion forums, and that can aid in the distinction of three modes of discourse: knowledge sharing, knowledge construction, and knowledge building. The dataset was taken from Knowledge ForumĀ® databases in the Knowledge…

Chen, Bodong; Scardamalia, Marlene; Bereiter, Carl – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2015
Evaluating promisingness of ideas is an important but underdeveloped aspect of knowledge building. The goal of this research was to examine the extent to which Grade 3 students could make promisingness judgments to facilitate knowledge-building discourse. A Promising Ideas Tool was added to Knowledge Forum software to better support…

Resendes, Monica; Scardamalia, Marlene; Bereiter, Carl; Chen, Bodong; Halewood, Cindy – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2015
This research explores the ability of grade 2 students to engage in productive discussion about the state of their knowledge building using group-level feedback tools to support their metadiscourse. Two aspects of knowledge work were common to the comparison and experimental classes: "Knowledge Building talk" (KB talk) involving…

Pifarre, Manoli; Kleine Staarman, Judith – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2011
This paper explores how wikis may be used to support primary education students' collaborative interaction and how such an interaction process can be characterised. The overall aim of this study is to analyse the collaborative processes of students working together in a wiki environment, in order to see how primary students can actively create a…

Kershner, Ruth; Mercer, Neil; Warwick, Paul; Kleine Staarman, Judith – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2010
Interactive whiteboards (IWBs) have been widely introduced to English primary schools (5-11 years) in the last decade and this has generated much research interest. In the past, research has focused on IWB-use in teacher-led sessions, attending particularly to the nature of teacher-pupil interaction at the IWB and the apparent motivational…

Moss, Joan; Beatty, Ruth – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2006
While it has been suggested that patterning activities support early algebra learning, it is widely acknowledged that the shift from perceiving patterns to understanding algebraic functions--and correspondingly, from reporting empirical patterns to providing explanations--is difficult. This paper reports on the collaborations of grade 4 students…
