Description¶

The article recommends designing learning activity settings in which students participate in discovering contradictions between what they are learning in class and what they know and practice, in order to transcend the classroom context. It states students "need tools such as the Online Learning Record that can help them observe and reflect on class-related concepts in settings outside the class", as when Neelum expanded rhetorical concepts into persuading friends and relatives.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Tools must support observation and reflection on class-related concepts, especially in students' own social practices outside class

Constraints¶

• The article cautions that even engaging problem-solving tasks within a constructivist framework do not necessarily result in learning activity if the tasks have a given context that students do not transcend and generalize to other contexts

Target Learners¶

• university students, including second language learners

Target Learning Goals¶

• expanding and generalizing learning beyond the classroom context

Affordances¶

• Activity System Model L2 Writing
