Prompting collaborative and exploratory discourse: An epistemic network analysis study

Vandenberg, J., Zakaria, Z., Tsan, J., Iwanski, A., Lynch, C., Boyer, K. E., & Wiebe, E. (2021, August 7). INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER-SUPPORTED COLLABORATIVE LEARNING, Vol. 8.

author keywords: Epistemic network analysis; Primary grades; Discourse; Pair programming; Collaboration
TL;DR: An easy-to-implement prompting intervention in the context of collaborative (pair) programming with upper elementary students to demonstrate the potential of ENA was found that intervention students—those given empirically-derived prompts in support of collaborative and exploratory talk—asked questions, justified their thinking, and offered alternative ideas in ways that were both qualitatively and quantitatively different from control students.

The Challenge of Noisy Classrooms: Speaker Detection During Elementary Students' Collaborative Dialogue

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION (AIED 2021), PT I, Vol. 12748, pp. 268–281.

author keywords: Adaptive and intelligent collaborative learning support; Classroom environment; Speaker detection; Multimodal learning
TL;DR: A multimodal method to identify speakers by using visual and acoustic features from ten video recordings of children pairs collaborating in an elementary school classroom indicates that the visual modality was better for identifying the speaker when in-group speech was detected, while the acoustic modality was better for differentiating in-group speech from background speech.

By: J. Tsan n, F. Rodriguez*, K. Boyer* & C. Lynch n

author keywords: Elementary school; pair programming; collaboration; dialogue
TL;DR: It is found that students regularly accept or reject suggestions without explanation or explicit acknowledgement and that it is often unclear whether they understand the substance of the suggestion, which may inhibit the development of a shared understanding between the partners and limit the value of the collaborative process.
