چکیده

Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) research has become pervasive in STEM education over the last several decades. The research presented here is part of an ongoing project to construct a meta-synthesis of CSCL findings in STEM domains. After a systematic search of the literature and article coding, cluster analysis results provided a frame for sampling from this literature in order to examine effects of CSCL. This preliminary metasynthesis addresses the three key pillars of CSCL: the nature of collaboration, the technologies that are employed, and the pedagogical designs.

Tracing the change in discourse in a collaborative dynamic geometry environment: From visual to more mathematical

In this paper, we investigate what appears to be an intermediate developmental stage in geometrical thinking according to Sfard’s commognitive framework. More specifically, we examine the change in three middle-school students’ mathematical discourse as they worked on a geometry construction problem within a virtual collaborative dynamic-geometry environment. We trace how their word use, use of...
