INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COOPERATION SCRIPTS IN WEB-BASED COLLABORATIVE INQUIRY LEARNING Effects on the acquisition of domain-specific and general knowledge

چکیده
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, 98 students (49 dyads) of two German secondary schools participated. We implemented two versions (high vs. low structured) of an external cooperation script directed towards supporting argumentative knowledge construction into a web-based collaborative inquiry learning environment. Further, we classified the learners’ internal scripts as either high or low structured, thereby establishing a 2x2-factorial design. We investigated how external and internal scripts as well as their interaction influenced the acquisition of both domain-specific and general knowledge. Results suggest that learners’ internal scripts are more important for acquiring domain-specific knowledge, whereas external scripts are more influential for the acquisition of general knowledge.

Internal and external collaboration scripts in web-based science learning at schools
Collaboration scripts can help learners to engage in argumentation and knowledge acquisition. However, they might have differential effects for learners holding differently structured knowledge (internal scripts) on argumentation. We investigated how external scripts interact with learners’ internal scripts concerning collaborative argumentation. 98 students from two secondary schools participa...

We use the script concept to describe knowledge structures that help individuals understand and act in specific contexts as well as scaffolds structuring collaborative learning. External scripts can be presented in different ways, e.g. as written text. For internal scripts, it is not clear whether they have identical effects on collaborative argumentation processes in oral vs. written discussio...

Collaboration Scripts
This article presents a conceptual analysis of collaboration scripts used in face-to-face and computer-mediated collaborative learning. Collaboration scripts are scaffolds that aim to improve collaboration through structuring the interactive processes between two or more learning partners. Collaboration scripts consist of at least five components: (a) learning objectives, (b) type of activities...
