This paper presents the output of a discussion group formed at the ITEM 3.7 Working Conference. The main theme of the discussion group was to consider the evolutionary nature of IT in Educational Management.

Two studies were performed in an attempt to generalize the risky-cautiousshift phenomenon to attitudes and to test "information exchange" and "mutual reinforcement" explanations of discussion-produced shifts. Study I confirmed an assumption of the information-exchange hypothesis by extending to the attitude realm the finding that subjects perceive their peers as less in the valued direction tha...

This study investigated the effects of different output-based task repetition conditions on EFL learners’ speech act production. Three intact classes of English-major students constituted three instructional groups: (1) the explicit task-repetition (ETR) group, (2) the implicit task-repetition (ITR) group, and (3) the no-input task repetition (NTR) group. All the three groups engaged in t...

This article describes the impact of learning in asynchronous discussion groups on students’ levels of knowledge construction. A design-based approach enabled the comparison of two successive cohorts of students (N=223 and N=286) participating in discussion groups for one semester. Multilevel analyses were applied to uncover the influence of student, group, and task variables on the one hand, a...
