q2 i? In the group-level process model, Argue was followed by Discuss (43%), Evaluate (14%) and further Argue (12%), whereas Share and Discuss were followed by low-cognitive interactions (Discuss 33%, Share 14%, Socialize 21%). → Mohammed Saqr 2023

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Stochastic process mining with a first-order Markov model (RQ1) estimated transition probabilities between coded interactions in the PBL groups, showing that Argue was more often followed by productive exchanges (transition probabilities in observational data, so associations rather than demonstrated causes), while "students who start with Share and Discuss do not progress to other types of high cognitive interactions".

"students who start the discussion with Argue trigger discussions (Discuss, 43%), Evaluate (14%), continue to Argue (12%), or Socialize, expressing gratitude, or appreciation of an argument"

Related Claims¶

• In frequency-based models, Argue, Discuss, Evaluate, and Socialize show significant positive associations with grades, but no interaction type is significant in the full model — related
• Engaging in argumentation-triggered, information-triggered, or socially-triggered interaction sequences is positively associated with grades, while facilitated discussions is not — related
• Online PBL group interaction follows the scripted sequence initially, but co-regulation derails over time into social bonding with fewer high-cognitive interactions — related
• Sequential patterns of online PBL interactions predict final grades with higher explanatory power than interaction frequencies — related
• Individual acceptance of group constructions depends on reflection and reconciliation processes triggered by differing opinions, sometimes occurring after the group session — related
• Temporal phases of co-regulation matter: prolonged early planning to establish shared goals and common ground facilitates co-regulation and collaboration in later phases — related
• Groups that initiated collaboration early, coordinated before problem-solving, and interacted continuously tended to achieve equal participation and higher satisfaction — related
