Frequently Asked Questions (11)
Q2. What is the goal of highly structuring collaborative learning processes?
The goal of highly structuring collaborative learning processes is to engage learners in fruitful collaboration processes while setting constraints for engaging in suboptimal ones.
Q3. Why are of the script instructions represented mentally?
most of the script instructions are represented mentally because learners are supposed to internalize them before collaboration.
Q4. What can be used as a guideline for designing external collaboration script approaches?
the person-plus framework of collaboration scripts can be used as a guideline fordesigning external collaboration script approaches.
Q5. What is the commonality of the presented collaboration scripts for computer-mediated learning?
In conclusion, the most apparent commonality of the presented collaboration scripts forcomputer-mediated learning is that all of them support and coordinate communication.
Q6. What is the common design strategy used in computer-mediated learning?
Another design strategy used in computer-mediated learning is implicit sequencing through a communication interface that, for example, blocks all chat windows except the window of the learning partner who is supposed to make a contribution.
Q7. What can be the main purpose of the person-plus framework of collaboration scripts?
One can assume that learners, through interaction with the external script, develop and constantly refine knowledge about how to structure their collaboration, thereby gradually integrating procedures represented in the external collaboration script into their internal scripts.
Q8. What is the main focus of collaboration scripts for computer-mediated learning?
As the authors have argued, collaboration scripts for computer-mediated learning typically focus onfacilitating communicative and coordinative processes.
Q9. What is the way to support teachers in their evaluatory efforts?
For classroom settings, using computersupported online knowledge assessment techniques as developed by Dönmez et al. (2005) might be a promising way to support teachers in their evaluatory efforts and in their decisions about thestructure of the collaboration script required by a specific group.
Q10. What are the main objectives of collaboration scripts?
Both collaboration scripts for face-to-face and computer-mediated learning aim to facilitatecognitive and metacognitive activities, such as explaining, questioning, or commenting.
Q11. What is the reason for the gradual internalization of script contents?
It is reasonable to assume that as learners interact more and more with external collaboration scripts, a gradual internalization of script contents takes place.
