q2 i? Groups start with Organize (76.5% at t=1), move to Discuss, Share, and Argue, and later interactions become dominated by Socialize, Agree, and Discuss with decreasing Argue. → Mohammed Saqr 2023

Evidence¶

Mohammed Saqr 2023¶

Mohammed Saqr, Sonsoles López-Pernas. (2023). The temporal dynamics of online problem-based learning: Why and when sequence matters. Intern. J. Comput.-Support. Collab. Learn. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-023-09385-1

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Sequence mining and distribution plots of group-level interactions (RQ1) showed Organize taking "most of the first two time points (76.5% for t = 1, and 75.3% f or t = 2)"; beyond roughly the 120th time point the pattern is Socialize, Agree, and Discuss with decreasing Argue.

"As such, co-regulation derails, and the groups are less into higher cognitive interactions, but more about social bonding and sharing."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Interactions kindle similar-level interactions: argumentation triggers high-cognitive exchanges while sharing and discussing without reasoning keep interactions low-cognitive — related
• Social presence shows the strongest association with metacognition in an online case-based course, while teaching presence shows no significant relationship — related
• Script-supported groups mainly engaged in accepted intra-group metacognitive interaction, with co-constructed interaction infrequent and highly variable between groups — related
• Engaging in argumentation-triggered, information-triggered, or socially-triggered interaction sequences is positively associated with grades, while facilitated discussions is not — related
• Sequential patterns of online PBL interactions predict final grades with higher explanatory power than interaction frequencies — related
• Macro scripts foster knowledge-productive interactions: argumentation, explanations and mutual regulation — 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
• Temporal process analysis reveals group- and task-related differences that the frequency accounts did not show, in the interchange of CPS elements over time — related
• Co-constructions of loaded moments can result in specific long-term relationship- and bond-development — related
