On Modeling Collaborative Talk During Computer-Mediated Music Composition: A Case Study in Primary School Peers

The proposed paper aims to model the dialogue that occurs during a computer-mediated music composition process between pupils in primary school within a collaborative framework. The different types of talk when children compose working in pairs are explored and modeled. Experimental results from a case study from a primary school in Greece reveal significant changes in children’s collaborative talk between an Information and Communication Technologies-based environment and the traditional one that could be used in the enhancement of the music education collaborative learning.
