Subclaims¶

q2 i? Pollack and Ben-David Kolikant's case study of dyads discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict showed students built intersubjective understanding through inter-animation of opposed perspectives while still disagreeing, rather than through convergence on shared mental models. → Gerry Stahl 2012

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

Stahl summarizes Pollack and Ben-David Kolikant's case study of dyads with opposing political positions, mediated by CSCL technology, finding that each dyad used the other's perspective as a resource for reflection while maintaining their distinct perspectives—establishing intersubjectivity despite disagreement.

"the students establish an intersubjective understanding of their discussion topic through an inter-animation of persistently opposed perspectives. There is no convergence or overlap of mental models or common ground."
