Description¶

A teacher dashboard prototype built on MathTutor digital traces for dyads collaborating on fraction assignments, developed through "a teacher co-design methodology" with 10 teachers. It shows a start screen of five dyads and six indicators - attempts needed, chance of trial-and-error behavior, fraction-skill proficiency, activity over time, amount of talk, and solved assignments - with group and class overviews. Three versions differing in support (mirroring, alerting, advising) were created from it for the experiment.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Displays information about cognitive and social aspects of collaboration
Presented with simulated, fictitious CSCL situations in the experimental test

Constraints¶

MathTutor does not yet track amount of talk; the study inferred talk from laptop-detected sound, which offered no information about what was said

Target Learners¶

Primary school teachers
Pre-service primary school teachers

Learning Goals¶

Monitoring dyads' cognitive and social collaboration on fraction assignments

Claims¶

Teacher interviews identified five types of monitored information and, via the Kano method, four highest-priority dashboard indicators for CSCL monitoring [+W]
