Bishop, Jessica Pierson – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
Background: This study considers the moment-bymoment mathematics discourse of teachers and students and the relationship of these discourses to student learning. I focus on the discursive constructs of responsiveness to students' mathematical thinking and the intellectual work in teacher and student discourse. Responsiveness to students'…

Habgood, M. P. Jacob; Ainsworth, Shaaron E. – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2011
The concept of "intrinsic motivation" lies at the heart of the user engagement created by digital games. Yet despite this, educational software has traditionally attempted to harness games as extrinsic motivation by using them as a sugar coating for learning content. This article tests the concept of "intrinsic integration" as…

Tatar, Deborah; Roschelle, Jeremy; Knudsen, Jennifer; Shechtman, Nicole; Kaput, Jim; Hopkins, Bill – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2008
We report on the initial attempts at evaluating "at scale" a particular technological/curricular innovation that enables more students to develop deeper knowledge. The methods, issues, and findings of the current pilot experiment speak not only to the success of SimCalc MathWorlds, the focus of our research program, but also to the…

Reiser, Brian J. – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2004
There has been much interest in using software tools to scaffold learners in complex tasks, that is, to provide supports that enable students to deal with more complex content and skill demands than they could otherwise handle. Many different approaches to scaffolding techniques have been presented in a broad range of software tools. I argue that…

Tabak, Iris – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2004
In this article, I examine distributed scaffolding, an emerging approach in the design of supports for rich learning environments intended to help students develop disciplinary ways of knowing, doing, and communicating. Distributed scaffolding incorporates multiple forms of support that are provided through different means to address the complex…

Quintana, Chris; Reiser, Brian J.; Davis, Elizabeth A.; Krajcik, Joseph; Fretz, Eric; Duncan, Ravit Golan; Kyza, Eleni; Edelson, Daniel; Soloway, Elliot – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2004
The notion of scaffolding learners to help them succeed in solving problems otherwise too difficult for them is an important idea that has extended into the design of scaffolded software tools for learners. However, although there is a growing body of work on scaffolded tools, scaffold design, and the impact of scaffolding, the field has not yet…
