Subclaims¶

q2 i? In the Mercier, Higgins and da Costa multi-touch tablet study, a leadership move counts only when a bid is taken up by others, so leadership takes place at the interactional group unit of analysis. → Gerry Stahl 2014

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

The editorial describes the Mercier, Higgins and da Costa analysis of student groups using multi-touch tablets, in which the group is viewed as the cognitive unit; an ignored proposal is classified as a "failed bid" at leadership and does not count as leadership.

"A leadership move involves a bid being taken up by others (see Stahl 2006, Ch.21), so it takes place at the interactional group unit of analysis."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Emergent leadership did not differ between multi-touch table and paper conditions in study one — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Leadership moves are distributed among members of children's collaborative learning groups rather than concentrated in a single leader — related
• A student's animated off-worksheet statements can function as bids for a frame change that the group may accept or ignore — related
• A collaboration kit with joint and private multi-touch table spaces outperformed comparison groups, showing less biased communication and more collaborative processes. — related
