Narrative analysis of 69 units of analysis drawn from three KF discussion views (Grade 5 Science, Grade 10 Visual Arts, Grade 10 Liberal Studies) identified nine discourse patterns. The authors report that BKnowledge-sharing discourse was the most common, occurring 46 times, with knowledge construction at 12 and knowledge building at five occurrences.
"Knowledge-sharing discourse was the most common, occurring 46 times. Knowledge-construction discourse occurred 12 times, and knowledge-building discourse five, indicating that knowledge sharing was pervasive in KF discussions, while knowledge building was comparatively rare."

Related Claims¶
- Only Grade 10 Liberal Studies students engaged in simple argumentation, complex argumentation, and theory-oriented interactions, possibly due to the subject's emphasis on argumentation
- The Bidea^ dimension was the most frequent (45.87% of total discourse), with Bfact^ dominant in Grade 5 Science and Bopinion^ dominant in Grade 10 Liberal Studies
- Grade 5 Science students predominantly engaged in fact-oriented, repetitive, and cumulative discourse, suggesting difficulty sustaining conversational exchanges online — 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
