Instrumental Genesis in the Design Studio
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Carvalho, Lucila; Martinez-Maldonado, Roberto; Goodyear, Peter – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2019
The theory of Instrumental Genesis (IG) accounts for the mutual evolution of artefacts and their uses, for specific purposes in specific environments. IG has been used in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) to explain how instruments are generated through the interactions of learners, teachers and artefacts in 'downstream' classroom…

Simpson, Amber; Bannister, Nicole; Matthews, Gretchen – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2017
There is a positive relationship between student participation in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments and improved complex problem-solving strategies, increased learning gains, higher engagement in the thinking of their peers, and an enthusiastic disposition toward groupwork. However, student participation varies from…

Jordan, Michelle E.; Cheng, An-Chih Janne; Schallert, Diane; Song, Kwangok; Lee, SoonAh; Park, Yangjoo – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2014
The purpose of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of learning in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments by investigating the co-occurrence of uncertainty expressions and expressions of learning in a graduate course in which students collaborated in classroom computer-mediated discussions. Results showed…

Collaborative Group Engagement in a Computer-Supported Inquiry Learning Environment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sinha, Suparna; Rogat, Toni Kempler; Adams-Wiggins, Karlyn R.; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E. – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2015
Computer-supported collaborative learning environments provide opportunities for students to collaborate in inquiry-based practices to solve authentic problems, using technological tools as a resource. However, we have limited understanding of the quality of engagement fostered in these contexts, in part due to the narrowness of engagement…

Linking Teacher Beliefs, Practices and Student Inquiry-Based Learning in a CSCL Environment: A Tale of Two Teachers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Song, Yangjie; Looi, Chee-Kit – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2012
The links uncovered by research connecting teacher beliefs to classroom practice and student inquiry-based learning are tenuous. This study aims at examining (a) "how" teacher beliefs influenced practices; and (b) "how" the influence on practices, in turn, impacted student inquiry learning in a CSCL environment. Through a fine-grained comparative…

Scripting by Assigning Roles: Does It Improve Knowledge Construction in Asynchronous Discussion Groups?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Schellens, Tammy; Van Keer, Hilde; De Wever, Bram; Valcke, Martin – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
This article describes the impact of learning in asynchronous discussion groups on students' levels of knowledge construction. A design-based approach enabled the comparison of two successive cohorts of students (N = 223 and N = 286) participating in discussion groups for one semester. Multilevel analyses were applied to uncover the influence of…

Alternative Goal Structures for Computer Game-Based Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ke, Fengfeng – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2008
This field study investigated the application of cooperative, competitive, and individualistic goal structures in classroom use of computer math games and its impact on students' math performance and math learning attitudes. One hundred and sixty 5th-grade students were recruited and randomly assigned to Teams-Games-Tournament cooperative gaming,…
