Supporting Collaborative Learning in Environmental Scenario Building through an Argumentative System

چکیده
The proposed contribution presents the results of an on going research work aiming at the implementation of a knowledge based system devoted to supporting the local government and the citizenship during the setting up process of a Regional Natural Park in Southern Italy. The system architecture integrates Group Decision Support Technology already available on the enterprise software market with tools enabling a dynamic representation of organizational memory. Indeed organizational memory, structured within information systems supporting decision-making and action in organizational environments, can be a useful mean for developing multilevel (individual, of group, organizational) collaborative learning. Starting from the case study -the process for setting up the Gravina Regional Natural Park-, the paper describes the system’s architecture and discusses some problematic issues related to: expert and non-expert knowledge acquisition and representation; possible dynamic representation of organizational memory, creation, use and storage of decision/learning histories, and dimension and relevance of memory.

Cooperation scripts are a powerful means to improve collaborative learning. Scripts can be designed to support argumentative knowledge construction. However, not only externally induced cooperation scripts but also the learners’ internal scripts on argumentative knowledge construction influence argumentative processes and what kind of knowledge is acquired during collaboration. In this study, 9...

متن کاملScripting Argumentative Knowledge Construction in Computer-supported Learning Environments
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments may encourage learners to engage in argumentative knowledge construction. Argumentative knowledge construction means that learners work together to elaborate on concepts by constructing arguments and counterarguments. This is achieved through discourse with the goal of acquiring knowledge within a specific domain. However, learners m...
