  • design of computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments
  • Participation in progressive inquiry is facilitated by asking a user who is preparing a discussion message to categorize the message by choosing a "category of inquiry scaffold" (e.g., Problem, Working theory, Summary) corresponding to the PI-Model (based on the practices of Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1993). These scaffolds are designed to encourage students to engage in expert-like processing of knowledge; they help to move beyond simple question-answer discussion and elicit practices of progressive inquiry.
  • ther important aspect of inquiry, and a critical condition of developing conceptual understanding, is generation of one’s own working theories — one’s conjectures, hypotheses, theories or interpretations — for the phenomena being investigated (Carey & Smith, 1995; Perkins, Crismond, Simmons, & Under, 1995; Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1993).
  • Through evaluating whether and how well the working theories explain the chosen problems, the learning community seeks to assess strengths and the weaknesses of different explanations and identify contradictory explanations, gaps of knowledge, and limitations of the power of intuitive explanation
  • Progressive discourse occurs, for instance, in the sciences demonstarting both accumulation and deepening of knowledge.
  • Each question opened one knowledge-buiding thread, e.g., "How does the new information and communication technology support development of students’ expertise in different contexts?" or "What kind of new pedagogical problems may emerge in networked learning environments?"
  • Specific problems addressed included the following: 1) What is the nature of KB messages produced by the participants? 2) How does the KB represent the model of progressive inquiry? 3) How did the students used the scaffolds provided by the FLE-Tools?
  • During the nine-week course the students posted 125 messages.
  • The postings to the database KB Module constitute the data analyzed in this study. The database material was analyzed with qualitative and quantitative methods in order to evaluate the process of knowledge advancement. The methods applied to analyzing the date aim at providing a richer view on the content and the progression of the discussion (see Chi, 1997).
  • ded to elicit in-depth inquiry
  • The following categories of inquiry scaffolds were also used to analyze how the students categorized their messages: Problem, Working theory, Deepening knowledge, Comment, Metacomment, and Summary (Help has been left out of the analysis because it was not used by the students)
  • To analyze the reliability of segmentation, an independent coder classified approximately 15 percent of the messages. The inter-coder reliability was .91, indicating that the reliability of segmentation was satisfactory.
  • each segment or idea was classified according to five principal "idea categories" identified in the coding process: Problem, Working theory, Scientific explanation, Metacomment, and Quote of another student’s idea. All of the propositions fitted in these five categories of ideas, which were regarded to be mutually exclusive.
  • database was considered to show remarkable connectedness (Hewitt, 1996).
  • FLE-Tools environment was used in a pilot course to facilitate progressive inquiry in university education
  • The students were asked to categorize their posting to the database by using a set of cognitive scaffolds. However, the content analysis indicated that the students' productions often did not correspond with the scaffold they chose. The students showed a bias for selecting a Category of Inquiry
  • A thematic analysis of the discussion suggested that a tutor's "just-in-time" participation could have significantly changed this pattern, judging from the evaluations and reflections of the students.
  • First, although the students were introduced the PI-Mode
  • Second, it is possible that it is not natural for the students to partition their posting in a way that corresponds to the given scaffolds; the students wrote rather long entries (often half a page) in which they set up as well as explained their problems.
  • examination of the database indicated that there was a substantial knowledge-management problem.

    The design of a web-based, networked learning environment, Future Learning Environment Tools (FLE-Tools) embodies a model of progressive inquiry. In this paper, we introduce the progressive inquiry model and describe how different modules FLE-Tools are designed to facilitate participation in this kind of inquiry. Results of a pilot experiment of using FLE-Tools in higher education are presented. The study was based on an analysis of 125 messages posted by thirteen university students to the FLE-Tools database. The results indicated that the course provided positive evidence for an integration of progressive inquiry and online discussion. The pedagogical and design challenges with which we are currently struggling are discussed: the problems of creating a learning community for students collaborating at distance or managing large number of entries in FLE's database.

  • Our ability to learn whatever we want, whenever we want, from whomever we want is rendering the linear, age-grouped, teacher-guided curriculum less and less relevant.
  • Experts are at our fingertips,
  • Content and information are everywhere, not just in textbooks.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • And the work we create and publish is assessed by the value it brings to the people who read it, reply to it, and remix it.
  • Much of what our students learn from us is unlearned once they leave us; paper is not the best way to share our work, facts and truths are constantly changing, and working together is becoming the norm, not the exception.
  • It's about solving problems together and sharing the knowledge we've gained with wide audiences.
  • Inherent in the collaborative process is a new way of thinking about teaching and learning
  • As connectors, we provide the chance for kids to get better at learning from one another.
  • In fact, we need to rely on trusted members of our personal networks to help sift through the sea of stuff, locating and sharing with us the most relevant, interesting, useful bits.
  • That means that as teachers, we must begin to model our own editorial skills
  • Collaboration in these times requires our students to be able to seek out and connect with learning partners, in the process perhaps navigating cultures, time zones, and technologies.
  • they come into contact with: Who is this person? What are her passions? What are her credentials? What can I learn from her?
  • As Clay Shirky writes in Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations, "Knowingly sharing your work with others is the simplest way to take advantage of the new social tools."
  • Fortunately, social tools like wikis, blogs, and social-bookmarking sites make working with others across time and space easier than it's ever been. They are indeed "weapons of mass collaboration," as author Donald Tapscott calls them.
  • The Collaboration Age comes with challenges that often cause concern and fear. How do we manage our digital footprints, or our identities, in a world where we are a Google search away from both partners and predators?
  • What are the ethics of co-creation when the nuances of copyright and intellectual property become grayer each day? When connecting and publishing are so easy, and so much of what we see is amateurish and inane, how do we ensure that what we create with others is of high quality?
  • I believe that is what educators must do now. We must engage with these new technologies and their potential to expand our own understanding and methods in this vastly different landscape.
  • And we must be able to model those shifts for our students and counsel them effectively when they run across problems with these tools.

    World Without Walls: Learning Well with Others How to teach when learning is everywhere. By Will Richardson Facebook 16 Twitter 25 Share 136 Email Four teachers from High Tech High. Bringing Their A-Game: Humanities teacher Spencer Pforsich, digital arts/sound production teacher Margaret Noble, humanities teacher Leily Abbassi, and math/science teacher Marc Shulman make lessons come alive on the High Tech campuses in San Diego. Credit: David Julian Earlier this year, as I was listening to a presentation by an eleven-year-old community volunteer and blogger named Laura Stockman about the service projects she carries out in her hometown outside Buffalo, New York, an audience member asked where she got her ideas for her good work. Her response blew me away. "I ask my readers," she said. I doubt anyone in the room could have guessed that answer. But if you look at the Clustrmap on Laura's blog, Twenty Five Days to Make a Difference, you'll see that Stockman's readers -- each represented by a little red dot -- come from all over the world. 1 She has a network of connections, people from almost every continent and country, who share their own stories of service or volunteer to assist Stockman in her work. She's sharing and learning and collaborating in ways that were unheard of just a few years ago. Welcome to the Collaboration Age, where even the youngest among us are on the Web, tapping into what are without question some of the most transformative connecting technologies the world has ever seen. These tools are allowing us not only to mine the wisdom and experiences of the more than one billion people now online but also to connect with them to further our understanding of the global experience and do good work together. These tools are fast changing, decidedly social, and rich with powerful learning opportunities for us all, if we can figure out how to leverage their potential. For e
