Technology affordances for intersubjective learning: a thematic agenda for CSCL
نویسنده
چکیده
The study of technology affordances for intersubjective learning is proposed as the thematic agenda for CSCL. Work that does not consider intrinsically interactional mechanisms of learning or does not study affordances specific to technology support is still valuable but is not considered central to the CSCL agenda. A fusion of experimental, ethnographic and design methodologies is also proposed. A working definition of intersubjective learning as joint accretion of interpretations on a dynamically evolving context is provided, along with an outline for analysis under this definition.

متن کاملTechnology Affordances for Intersubjective Meaning-Making
The broad field of “computers in education” includes a diversity of approaches to using computers for learning. Each approach is based on an epistemology: a theory of how knowledge is gained. In this presentation, I will characterize the uses of technology and their corresponding epistemologies. I will single out intersubjective epistemologies as timely for research and practice, and call for d...
