Description

A companion inventory, also emerging from thematic data analysis, classifies learner responses to mediation hierarchically. The article states "The reciprocity inventory was divided into two general themes as indicators of low and high reciprocity to mediation", with four categories: lack of responsiveness, partial responsiveness, overcoming the problem, and assuming full responsibility. Low reciprocity (e.g., failure to identify error location under the virtual collaborative frame and highlighting) indicates a lower ZPD, while overcoming problems and explaining and exemplifying structures indicate progression toward self-regulation.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Used alongside the mediation typology to evaluate learners' microgenetic development of target structures across DA and transfer sessions

Constraints

  • Developed within a two-participant SCMC DA study focused on English modals and prepositions

Target Learners

  • L2 learners working with a mediator in synchronous computer-mediated communication

Target Goals

  • Progression from other-regulated to self-regulated performance on targeted L2 grammar structures
