Subclaims¶

q2 i? More than half of group A's dialogues were categorized as orientation or conceptualization, with only two categorized as investigation or discussion, whereas group B showed a fairly equal distribution across orientation, investigation and discussion. → Aaron J. Peltoniemi 2025 q2 i? Group A focused on yes-no questions at the personal level rather than elaboration and argumentation at the group level and failed the learning task, while group B's discussion of directions and usability mattered mainly in early stages and it succeeded. → Aaron J. Peltoniemi 2025 (2)

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Qualitative analysis of audio recordings from ten undergraduates in two groups of five completing a computer-based thermodynamics task; dialogues were coded by discourse function and knowledge-construction category. The quoted fragment states group A's distribution: "more than half of the dialogues (eight total)" were orientation or conceptualization.

"In terms of category of knowledge construction, more than half of the dialogues (eight total) for group A were categorized as either orientation or conceptualization, and only two were categorized as investigation or discussion."

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Discussion section interpreting the visualized dialogues of both groups: group A's personal-level yes-no questions and failure are contrasted with group B's turn-taking and repeated empirical evaluation followed by extensive discussion. "In the end, they failed the learning task."

"They also focused on asking yes-no questions at the personal level as opposed to elaboration and argumentation at the group level and this happened throughout their collaborative learning (Fig. 5). In the end, they failed the learning task."

Related Claims¶

• Group A's brainstorming was repeatedly unproductive because individual interjections redirected the group's dialogue toward personal concerns
• Group A's two most common I-positions were I–it and I–me, while group B's were I–me and I–we, indicating different reliance on interpersonal versus intrapersonal voices
• Group B showed a shift toward intrapersonal voices (I–you/I–we) during its later empirical evaluation, while group A remained interpersonal (I–it/I–me) even when investigating, with un-negotiated inputs
• In group B, usage of I–we gradually increased and peaked in the final stage during critical evaluation, suggesting intrapersonal collective voice drives critical evaluation of evidence
