Supporting Collaborative Learning in Narrative-Centered Learning Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Student collaboration in traditional classroom settings has been shown to contribute to learning gains, cognitive and metacognitive skills, and to accrue social advantages. However, creating effective cooperative learning environments is challenging. Forming groups expected to generate the most beneficial outcomes and monitoring or scaffolding group interactions is difficult, especially when students are first learning to work as a team. However, given the promise of collaboration, the intelligent tutoring systems community has begun to investigate the utility of computer-supported collaborative learning as a means for addressing traditional classroom impediments to collaborative learning. In particular, narrativecentered learning environments may be well equipped to address the complexities of collaboration. This paper discusses the advantages of narrative-centered learning environments for both student-student collaboration as well as student-agent collaboration.
