Subclaims¶

q2 i? Group 3 shifted from constructing personal lines of reasoning to direct initiation-response interaction when the second phase was initiated. → Overdijk 2008 q2 i? Group 2 did not arrive at a different principle for organization when entering the second phase, proceeding as before. → Overdijk 2008 (2)

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Episode analysis of group 3 shows that in the transition from the first to the second phase "the group arrived at a different shared principle": organization in the textual modality changed from expanding a sequence without participant change to pairing of initiation and response.

"With the initiation of the second phase, the students started to interact directly with each other by means of initiation and response."

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Episode analysis of group 2 shows the strong graphical principle persisted into the second phase; near its end Patrick added links between successive contributions, reinforcing the principle and emphasizing reading direction.

"When the group was asked to enter the second phase of the discussion they proceeded to interact as they did during the first phase."

• The initiation-response organizing principle constrains interaction to a linear structure and breaks down when drawing space runs out — related
• Weak initial organization enables experimentation with alternative graphical organizing principles — related
• Organizing principles for a shared workspace emerge from implicit negotiation of conventions among group members — related
