Use pre-action reviews and structured sentence starters to support high-integrity CoBi reflection¶

Description¶

Based on Study 2's finding that revisiting was rushed, the authors "concluded that future professional learning for teachers should emphasize that CoBi's feedback can also be conducted as a pre-action review at the start of the next session rather than rushing the revisiting at the end of class." Teachers also scaffolded engagement with conversational prompts such as "Can you explain that further?" and "How does that connect to our agreement?", and one successful strategy used noticings popups and the sentence cloud to have students debate CoBi's classification accuracy, fostering critical reflection on what good collaboration means.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Teacher professional learning covering the CoBi routine; saved sessions selectable for pre-action review in the v2 teacher interface

Constraints¶

• Derived from feasibility and integrity studies, not efficacy studies; real-time displays risked distracting students and complicating orchestration

Target Learners¶

• middle school students and their teachers

Target Learning Goals¶

• reflective practice on collaboration as a skill

Affordances¶

• Three Phase Community Agreement Routine

Related Strategies¶

• Provide structure and supports such as sentence starters, norms posters, guided questions, and explicit conflict-resolution teaching
• Design AI as a classroom orchestration partner that helps teachers form groups, nurture conversations, and track participation without taking control
• Reflect on Learning
