Subclaims¶

q1 i? CSCL research has established that developing teachers who can create collaborative classrooms takes several years, and curriculum that works in small-group interaction requires many iterations of trial and redesign. → Gerry Stahl 2015

q1 · i? · theoretical · r1

The editorial asserts, based on accumulated CSCL research evidence it attributes to the field at large, that teacher development takes several years and effective curriculum requires many redesign iterations. These costly processes, it argues, require national institutional and international funding commitment. No specific studies or statistics are cited here.
