ΕΠΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΑ ΜΕ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΤΠΕΣΤ. ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ What are CSCL scripts? CSCL scripts are instructional sequences (didactic scenarios) in which peer interactions are defined and expected to constitute the core learning mechanism. Scripts are tools for enhancing the probability that productive interactions occur in the group. The key issue in the design of a CSCL script is: which type of peer interactions does the teacher want to foster to reach educational objectives?

ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Script Structure A script is a sequence of phases and each phase is defined by five attributes TASK: the task that students have to perform at this phase, Group COMPOSITION: the composition of the group: number of subjects, group formation rules, … TASK DISTRIBUTION: the way that the task is distributed within and among groups Subtasks, Roles, … MODE: the mode of interaction face-to-face, a/synchronous, text-based or voice-based, … TIMING: the timing of the phase

ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Script example: ArgueGraph (1/3) Phase 1: Each student has to answer multiple- choice questions on domain-specific questions Phase 2: The system produces a graph in which all students are positioned according to their answers The system or the tutor forms pairs of students by selecting peers with the largest distance on the graph (i.e., that have the most different opinions).

ΕΠΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΑ ΜΕ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΤΠΕΣΤ. ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Script example: ArgueGraph (2/3) Phase 3: The pairs formed during phase 2 answer the same questionnaire as in phase 1 together They have to agree on a common answer. Phase 4: The system computes the distribution of answers given individually (phase 1) and collaboratively (phase 3). The tutor uses these data during a face-to-face debriefing session, during which (s)he reviews each question.

ΕΠΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΑ ΜΕ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΤΠΕΣΤ. ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Script example: ArgueGraph (3/3) Phase 5 (evaluation): Each student writes a synthesis of all arguments collected for a specific question. This synthesis has to be structured according to the theoretical framework introduced by the teacher during the debriefing (phase 4). This synthesis is used as assessment.

ΕΠΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΑ ΜΕ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΤΠΕΣΤ. ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Ideal, mental and actual scripts Ideal script: the set of behaviors that the teacher or the environment prescribes; The mental script is the mental representation that the group builds from the teacher prescription. how each group member understands his or her role in collaboration how the group builds a shared representation of the collaborative process. The actual script refers to the task and group interactions that students do actually engage.

ΕΠΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΑ ΜΕ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΤΠΕΣΤ. ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ How do computers support scripts? Reifiying  provide students with a concrete script representation (phases, roles, …) Enabling  enable scripts events that would be harder or impossible to create without computers, Traceability  functionalities for the teacher to analyze and regulate teamwork and for the student themselves to access to previous steps. Connecting  computer as a communication tool Managing  off-load groups and teachers from some logistics duties Constraining  offer opportunities for shaping communication within groups

ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Script schemata (1/2) A script schema is an abstract idea of how to organize the students’ interactions in a collaborative task JIGSAW schema: the partition of the knowledge or information necessary to solve the task (a) by forming pairs who have complementary knowledge, or (b) or by providing them with complementary information or (c) by asking them to play complementary roles Design principle: no learner has the necessary information or knowledge to solve the problem alone. It can only be achieve through intense interaction with the other team members.

ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Script schemata (2/2) CONFLICT schema: triggers argumentation among group members (a) by forming pairs with student with conflicting opinions, or (b) by providing them with conflicting evidence, or (c) by asking them to play conflicting roles. RECIPROCAL Schema: Define two roles in teams, one of the peers regulating the other and then switching roles

Example In a coarse grain script such e.g. project-based teaching… …a task may last a few weeks, such as "customer needs analysis"

ΕΠΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΑ ΜΕ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΤΠΕΣΤ. ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Degree of Coercion Scripts vary according to the freedom loss they generate To which extent the actions of the students are constrained by the script Some scripts force the students to achieve specific subtasks while other simply induce it High granularity scripts tend to be more coercive

ΕΠΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΑ ΜΕ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΤΠΕΣΤ. ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Macro vs. Micro Scripts & Locus of Control Macro script: the genearl didactic contract that desribes how the collaborative activity will be organized External locus of control: learners need not internalize/learn the macro script e.g. the overall organization of the pyramid script Micro script: specific instructions for learners (at psychological level) on how to conduct a specific activity / develop a skill, etc. Internal locus of control: learners are expected to internalize / learn the micro script and transfer this knowledge to other situations e.g. a micro-script of how to express a well-structured argument

ΕΠΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΑ ΜΕ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΤΠΕΣΤ. ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΑΔΗΣ Social planes Learning activities occur at different social planes Intra-psychological plane Individual Inter-psychological plane Collaborative activities  small groups (2-8) Team members maintain some representation of their teammate's cognition Social plane Collective activities  all the class students (whether they are 20 or 300) Individual representations disappear behind the culture that the community members jointly constructed

The SWISH model SWISH: "Split Where Interaction Should Happen" Learning results from the interactions engaged by students to build a shared understanding of task despite the fact that it is distributed The task distribution determines the nature of interactions: Interactions are mechanisms for overcoming task splits Task splits can be designed for triggering the interactions that the teacher wants to foster: Split Where Interaction Should Happen

Summary Collaborative Learning: does not guarantee always positive learning outcomes Script Schemata: JIGSAW, CONFLICT, RECIPROCAL Script Design: Granularity, Coercion, Control, Generalizability Social Planes: Individual, Group, Class, Community, World SWISH Model A script is a sequence of Phases. Each phase defines: A Task Group Composition Task Distribution (student roles) Mode of Interaction Timing Scripts: didactic scenarios for guiding and supporting the collaborative activity
