External representations for collaborative learning and assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This interactive session brings together researchers and educators interested in using external representations to facilitate and assess learning. The session will juxtapose four systems, each of which takes a different design approach. The representations include concept maps, metaphorical textual descriptions or visualizations for helping students learn in complex domains such as science or programming.

متن کاملRepresentational scripting effects on group performance
This study investigated the effects of a tool designed for supporting the online collaborative performance of learners carrying out complex learning tasks. Appropriate collaborative cognitive activities may be evoked by structuring the whole learning task into phases and providing congruent external representations for each stage (i.e., representational scripting). It was hypothesized that this...
متن کاملTowards a Systematic Study of Representational Guidance for Collaborative Learning
The importance of collaborative and social learning processes is well established, as is the utility of external representations in supporting learners' active expression, examination and manipulation of their own emerging knowledge. However, research on how computerbased representational tools may support collaborative learning is in its infancy. This paper motivates such a line of research, s...
متن کاملSupporting Learners Collaborative Knowledge Construction by External Representations
External representations can be powerful to support learners’ collaborative knowledge construction. They can focus learners on aspects which are particularly important for the task to solve. In this study, we investigate different styles of pre-structuring shared external representations, a collaboration script and a content scheme. 159 university students participated in the empirical study. T...
