Effects of Sequences of Cognitions on Group Performance Over Time

چکیده
Extending past research showing that sequences of low cognitions (low-level processing of information) and high cognitions (high-level processing of information through questions and elaborations) influence the likelihoods of subsequent high and low cognitions, this study examines whether sequences of cognitions are related to group performance over time; 54 primary school students (18 triads) discussed and wrote an essay about living in another country (32,375 turns of talk). Content analysis and statistical discourse analysis showed that within each lesson, groups with more low cognitions or more sequences of low cognition followed by high cognition added more essay words. Groups with more high cognitions, sequences of low cognition followed by low cognition, or sequences of high cognition followed by an action followed by low cognition, showed different words and sequences, suggestive of new ideas. The links between cognition sequences and group performance over time can inform facilitation and assessment of student discussions.

INTRODUCTION This study examines the relationship between representational gaps, group interaction and decision quality. Representational gaps refer to incompatibilities in how a problem is understood within a group (Cronin & Weingart, 2007). These incompatibilities adversely affect group performance via process losses that hinder communication and coordination in the group. This proposed link ...
