Schnaubert, Lenka; Bodemer, Daniel – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2019
Cognitive group awareness tools are a means to guide collaborative learning activities by providing knowledge-related information to the learners. While positive effects of such tools are firmly established, there is no consistency with regard to the awareness information used and a wide range of target concepts exist. However, attempts to compare…

Wise, Alyssa Friend; Chiu, Ming Ming – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2011
This paper introduces an approach to analyzing temporal patterns of knowledge construction (KC) in online discussions, including consequences of role assignments. The paper illustrates the power of this approach for illuminating collaborative processes using data from a semester-long series of discussions in which 21 university students were…

Cesareni, Donatella; Martini, Francesca; Mancini, Ilaria – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2011
In this paper we present a case study about a community of practice's foundation and development among Italian teachers, researchers and university students who participated in a European project aimed at developing and testing innovative pedagogical models and technologies for collaborative knowledge building. Forty-five people (34 teachers, five…

Gressick, Julia; Derry, Sharon J. – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2010
We conducted research within a program serving future mathematics and science teachers. Groups of teachers worked primarily online in an asynchronous discussion environment on a 6-week task in which they applied learning-science ideas acquired from an educational psychology course to design interdisciplinary instructional units. We employed an…

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),…

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…
