Good for Learning, Bad for Motivation? A Meta-Analysis on the Effects of Computer-Supported Collaboration Scripts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Radkowitsch, Anika; Vogel, Freydis; Fischer, Frank – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2020
Scripting computer-supported collaborative learning has been shown to greatly enhance learning, but is often criticized for hindering learners' agency and thus undermining learners' motivation. Beyond that, what makes some CSCL scripts particularly effective for learning is still a conundrum. This meta-analysis synthesizes the results of 53…

Adaptable Scaffolding of Mathematical Argumentation Skills: The Role of Self-Regulation When Scaffolded with CSCL Scripts and Heuristic Worked Examples
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Vogel, Freydis; Kollar, Ingo; Fischer, Frank; Reiss, Kristina; Ufer, Stefan – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2022
Collaboration scripts and heuristic worked examples have been described as powerful scaffolds to support skill acquisition in CSCL. While CSCL scripts particularly facilitate argumentative discourse within groups, heuristic worked examples provide heuristics and worked out pathways to solve domain-specific tasks. Yet, both scripts and heuristic…

Appropriation from a Script Theory of Guidance Perspective: A Response to Pierre Tchounikine
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

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…

When Coding-and-Counting Is Not Enough: Using Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) to Analyze Verbal Data in CSCL Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Csanadi, Andras; Eagan, Brendan; Kollar, Ingo; Shaffer, David Williamson; Fischer, Frank – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2018
Research on "computer-supported collaborative learning" (CSCL) is often concerned with the question of how scaffolds or other characteristics of learning may affect learners' social and cognitive engagement. Such engagement in socio-cognitive activities frequently materializes in discourse. In quantitative analyses of discourse,…

Analyzing Collaborative Learning Processes Automatically: Exploiting the Advances of Computational Linguistics in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rose, Carolyn; Wang, Yi-Chia; Cui, Yue; Arguello, Jaime; Stegmann, Karsten; Weinberger, Armin; Fischer, Frank – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2008
In this article we describe the emerging area of text classification research focused on the problem of collaborative learning process analysis both from a broad perspective and more specifically in terms of a publicly available tool set called TagHelper tools. Analyzing the variety of pedagogically valuable facets of learners' interactions is a…

Specifying Computer-Supported Collaboration Scripts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kobbe, Lars; Weinberger, Armin; Dillenbourg, Pierre; Harrer, Andreas; Hamalainen, Raija; Hakkinen, Paivi; Fischer, Frank – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
Collaboration scripts facilitate social and cognitive processes of collaborative learning by shaping the way learners interact with each other. Computer-supported collaboration scripts generally suffer from the problem of being restrained to a specific learning platform. A standardization of collaboration scripts first requires a specification of…

Facilitating Argumentative Knowledge Construction with Computer-Supported Collaboration Scripts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stegmann, Karsten; Weinberger, Armin; Fischer, Frank – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
Online discussions provide opportunities for learners to engage in argumentative debate, but learners rarely formulate well-grounded arguments or benefit individually from participating in online discussions. Learners often do not explicitly warrant their arguments and fail to construct counterarguments (incomplete formal argumentation structure),…
