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.
q2 i? In the Siqin, van Aalst and Chu study comparing fixed groups with opportunistic collaboration, no knowledge creation was found in any group; the majority of interactions were knowledge sharing and about one third knowledge construction. → Cress 2015
Evidence¶
Cress 2015¶
Cress, U., Stahl, G., Ludvigsen, S., & Law, N. (2015). The core features of CSCL: Social situation, collaborative knowledge processes and their design. International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 10, 109-116. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-015-9214-2
q2 · i? · review · r2
The editors report the multi-faceted analysis of the fixed-group versus opportunistic-collaboration study, which coded participation, interactivity, dialog content and knowledge-construction quality using van Aalst's three-level differentiation.
"It is interesting that they do not find any knowledge creation at all in any group."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- A coding scheme distinguishing knowledge creation from knowledge sharing and construction can differentiate student groups' engagement in knowledge creation — related
- Internalizing wiki information can yield emergent knowledge that was in neither the person's prior knowledge nor the wiki — related
- Students in a collaborative, project-based engineering design course gained declarative knowledge but not procedural or principled knowledge or personal interest — related
- Group A's discourse contained the idea units needed for knowledge construction but only rare rise-above moves, indicating a threshold rather than well-developed knowledge-creation discourse — related
- All four groups showed a tendency toward knowledge sharing, presenting information without interpretation or evaluation — related
