Discussion passage explaining why both groups showed high I–it/I–me prevalence: students first familiarized themselves at the personal level before group-level discussion. This authors' interpretation contextualizes the unproductive brainstorming in group A's Stage II and III dialogues described in Results.

"As mentioned earlier, there was a high prevalence of I–it and I–me) within both groups because students had to familiarize themselves at the personal level with the learning task, directions, and/or provided learning environment before engaging in discussion at the group level."
