Collaborative learning / Collaborative education – ”history”

“Collaborative education in the U.S. began in the 1970s as a response to the previous decade’s mentality that students who needed help and didn’t seek this help did not belong in college. In response to this, colleges began providing peer tutoring and in-class group work. This led to the discovery that these forms of collaboration did not change what people learned, but how they learned”

What is collaborative learning?

• Structure of interaction designed to facilitate accomplishment of an end product or goal through people working together in groups

• well-stuctured knowledge domain

• is accomplished by the division of labor among participants, as an activity where each person is responsible for a portion of the problem solving

Cooperative vs. Collaborative

• Collaboration as a philiosophy of interaction and personal lifestyle

• Ill-structured knowledge domain

• mutual engagement of participants in a coordinated effort to solve problem together

Cooperative learning Collaborative learning

Resta & Laferriere, 2007; Panitz, 1996; Slavin, 1997; Teasley, 1995

Commonalities• Learning is active

• The teacher is usually more a facilitator than a “sage on the stage”

• Teaching and learning are shared experiences

• Students participate in small-group activities

• Students take responsibility for learning

• Students reflect on their own assumptions and thought processes

• Social and team skills are developed through the give-and-take of consensus-building

Kirchner, 2001

Four instructional motives for the use of technology in support of collaborative

learning1. To prepare students for the knowledge

society (collaboration skills and knowledge creation

2. To enhance students cognitive performance or foster deep understanding

3. To add flexibility of time and space for cooperative/collaborative learning

4. To foster student engagement and keep track of student cooperative/collaborative work

Resta & Laferriere, 2007

1. More interaction balances out less individualisation

Dickson, W. & Vereen, M. A. (1983). Two students at one microcomputer. Theory Into Practice, 22(4), 296-300. doi:10.1080/00405848309543077

1. More interaction balances out less individualisation

“it appeared that when we did have to put two children in front of a computer, the results were actually positive: the imperfect individualisation was compensated for by the benefits of social interactions”

1983: Key educational principle was the adaptation of instruction to individual needs

1983: Key educational principle was the adaptation of instruction to individual needs

2. There is an illusion of convergence,actually CSCL practises lie at crossroads of two different perspectives:

A. Distributed cognition (socio-cognitive)B. Situated cognition (socio-cultural)

Kognitiiviset työkalut 1/3

• “Mobiililaitteita tuleekin tarkastella kognitiivisina työkaluina, ei pelkkinä teknologisista lähtökohdista suunniteltuina tiedonsiirtolaitteina” (Laru, ITK 2003)

15



• Kognitiivisen työkalun käsite kattaa kaikki ne välineet, joita voidaan käyttää kognitiivisten prosessien tukemiseen (Lajoie 1993). Tarkemman määrittelyn mukaan se kattaa ne välineet, jotka tukevat ajattelun, ongelmanratkaisun ja oppimisen mahdollistavia kognitiivisia prosesseja (Jonassen & Reeves, 1996).

• Kognitiivisten työvälineiden teoreettinen tausta nousee Hutchinsin (1995) hajautetun kognition ja Pean (1993) hajautetun asiantuntijuuden teorioista, joiden mukaan käytämme ympärillämme olevia ihmisiä, symboleja ja artefakteja jatkuvasti ja tiedostamattamme osana arkipäiväistä toimintaamme.

16



• Älypuhelinten yleistyminen on mahdollistamassa sekä pöytätietokoneista tuttujen kognitiivisten “työkalujen mobilisoinnin” että täysin uudenlaistet sovellukset, jotka hyödyntävät mobiiliteknologian erityispiirteitä (Keefe & Zucker, 2003; Rochelle & Pea, 2002)

17


B. Situated cognition (socio-cultural)

• Within a socio-cultural perspective, social interaction is more than a method, it is the essence of cognition and hence the goal of learning

Lave and Wenger provide details of aprrenticeships from among midvives, tailors, quartermasters, butchers, and alcoholics.

3. The formal/informal border is blurred

•one spesific feature of CSCL has been it’s relevance for both formal and informal learning, without separating these two worlds hermeneutically

•Empirical studies attemps to transfer succesfull (informal) practises into classrooms, by transforming schools into learning communities (Bielaczyk & Collins, 1999; Scardmalia & Bereiter, 1994)

computer-supported intentional learning environments (CSILE) • aim at reframing classroom

discourse to support knowledge building in ways extensible to out-of-school knowledge- advancing enterprises and make school education more situated (Lave & Wenger, 1991).

• In one scenario, records made at the place of work (knowledge in action) "ground" reflective activities in the classroom. (Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1994)

4. Collaborative learning is not a

recipe

22


Global CSCL question

• Collaboration per se does not produce learning outcomes; it’s results depend upon the extent to which groups actually engage in productive interactions.

• Global CSCL reseach question(s): under which conditions is a CSCL environment effective? (Dillenbourg, Baker, Blaye, & O’Malley, 1996)– under which conditions do specific interactions occur?– which interactions are predictive of learning outcomes?

• Three main categories have been found to facilitate learning:– explanation– argumentation / negotiation– mutual regulation

The key consequence is at design level: the purpose of a CSCL environment is not simply to enable collaboration across distance but to create condition in which effective group interactions are expected to occur

5. Media effectiviness is a

myth

•” … This is perhaps not surprising because the same claims have been made about every new technology developed in the last century. For example, when the motion picture, radio, and television were invented, each was hailed as answer to solving educational problems” (Heinich, 1979; Cuban, 1986; Mayer, 1999).

•”Instructional methods make the difference in how well students learn, not the message or the delivery technology” (Clark, 1983)

Over-expectations with to respect to its intrinsic effects on learning

Overall, the analyses revealed nonparticipative behaviour within the online community. The social network analysis revealed structural holes and sparse collaboration among participants in the offline community. It was found that due to their separated practices in the offline community, they did not have a need for mobile collaboration tools in their practices

6.What matters is the effort required

to construct shared knowledge

Key question for CSCL:•How do learners build a shared

understanding of the task to be accomplished?

•CSCL definition: “Roschelle & Teasley (1995) defined collaborative learning as the co-construction of shared understanding”

•=> Grounding: it refers to the mechanisms by which two interlocutors detect whether their partner has understood what they meant and repair eventual misunderstandings

do not take it simplistically•peer never build a fully shared

understanding

•=> through phases of convergence, pairs find out new differences of viewpoints that they may need overcome, and so forth

•during cycle of divergence/convergence phases, what matters is not only final result but also effort towards shared under understanding (swartch, 1995)

increase the effort..•..Increase the initial divergence

among students and hence increase the effort to build a joint solution

•CSCL scripts, e.g. arguegraph, jigsaw

•..combine divergence and convergence functionalities: e.g. shared representations and visual identification of individual contributions or viewpoints (awareness tools)

7. Greater resemblance to

face-to-face interaction is not necessarily better

Imitation bias

•“is the belief that the more a medium resembles face-to-face interaction, the better” (Hollan & Stornetta, 1992)

•Media richness is also erranously considered to predit effectiviness, despite empirical counter-evidence:

•video-supported collaborative work vs. audio-only collaborative work. => not necessarily better

Example of media effectiviness

Traditional virtual learning environments - e.g. Optima & Blackboard

..Actually, technology benefits are elsewhere•CSCL Question is no longer “how

to compensate for not being face-to-face” (~ was topic 20 years ago)

•Now it is “How to fulfil collaborative functionalities that are not available in face-to-face situations” (Haake, 2006)

“Traditional learning technologies fit with students who sit on a chair in front of a table with a computer in a quiet environment. What is the potential of learning technologies for students who move all the time, carry objects, may have dirty hands and work in a noisy environment? Are learning technologies irrelevant for them or should we develop new ways to use technologies that are more appropriate to these contexts?”

8. Task representations mediate verbal

interactions

Representations & verbal interactions

•The way representations shape social interactions is referred to by Suthers and Hundhausen (2003) as “representational guidance”

•such cognitive tools not only shape social interactions but, if they get internalized, also shape the way students reason about the domain (Kuutti & Kaptelin, 1997)

Examples I

Beldevere argumentation tool - Suthers, Weiner, Connelly & Paolucci, 1995

Microworlds - Roschelle & Teasley, 1995

Examples II

9. Structuring communication is

a subtle compromise

Semi-structured interfaces

• Semi-structured communication tools aim to scaffold productive interactions by making them easier: for instance “sentence openers”, such as “please explain why”

• It’s example of flexible structuring - students have freedom to use or not to use the available widgets

• Poor results (e.g. Baker & Lund, 1997)

Solution: CSCL scripts

Scripts originate from the fact that it is difficult to predict the effects of collaborative learning by controlling external conditions such as group composition or task features.

Actually, the effects of collaborative learning depend on the quality of interactions that take place among group members.

Therefore, scripts aim to enhance the probability that knowledge generative interactions such as conflict resolution, explanation or mutual regulation occur during the collaboration process.

Different scripts• A macro-script sets up conditions in

which argumentation should occur, as in the ArgueGraph, for instance by pairing students with opposite opinions.

• A micro-script scaffolds the interaction process per se: when a learner brings an argument, the script will for instance prompt his or her peer to state a counter-argument (Kollar et al, in press)

• For both micro- and macro-scripts, the right level of scaffolding is a subtle compromise between the need for structuring and the risk of over-scripting (dillenbourg, 2002)

Arguegraph script

10. Interaction analysis can be

partly automated

•The degree of processing of these interactions varies from mirroring to guiding (Jermann, Soller & Muhlenbrock, 2001)

Mirroring: noise sensitive table

•The table, Reflect, addresses the issue of unbalanced participation during group discussions. By displaying on its surface a shared visualization of member participation, Reflect is meant to encourage participants to avoid the extremes of over- and under-participation.
