Description

The editorial describes Tissenbaum, Berland, and Lyons' framework "for recognizing and coding collaboration and divergent learning — Divergent Collaborative Learning Mechanisms (DCLM)", used to analyze museum visitors' interactions with an interactive digital tabletop exhibit. It challenges the assumption that productive collaboration requires shared objectives, showing collaborative learning occurred among visitors "while holding divergent conceptions and pursuing divergent goals."

Accounts

• Divergent Collaborative Learning Mechanisms (DCLM) framework for coding collaboration with divergent goals: The editorial describes Tissenbaum, Berland, and Lyons' framework "for recognizing and coding collaboration and divergent learning — Divergent Collaborative Learning Mechanisms (DCLM)", used to analyze museum visitors' interactions with an interactive digital tabletop exhibit. It challenges the assumption that productive collaboration requires shared objectives, showing collaborative learning occurred among visitors "while holding divergent conceptions and pursuing divergent goals." (Nancy Law et al. (2017))

Claims

• Interference during tabletop use can play a productive role, but small-group collaboration processes primarily influence learning [+W]
