Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? The authors identify four changes over the past thirty years: collaborative pedagogies mainstreaming, collaboration technology becoming infrastructure, learning redefined to include collective-level learning, and collaboration shifting from small synchronous groups to large, partly asynchronous collectives. → Baker 2024
Evidence¶
Baker 2024¶
Baker, M., Reimann, P. (2024). CSCL: a learning and collaboration science?. International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-024-09433-4
q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
Editorial essay argument, not an empirical study. The authors assert, with cited background literature, that collaborative pedagogies are mainstream, platforms such as Moodle make technology "infrastructure", and "what counts as learning has changed" as large collectives learn as collectives.
"Of the many changes that have taken place over the past thirty years, we would like to emphasise just four of them."
