From meaning making to joint construction of knowledge practices and artefacts: a trialogical approach to CSCL
نویسندگان
چکیده
CSCL research is often closely connected to dialogic theories of learning and human cognition with an emphasis on shared meaning making. Without neglecting this viewpoint we give reasons for an alternative framework. We call this alternative a “trialogical” approach; it emphasizes joint and organized work with artefacts and practices as a basis for collaborative learning. The paper explains the use of this notion and clarifies theoretical backgrounds for the approach in line with the knowledge creation metaphor of learning, and relates it especially to knowledge building and socio-cultural and cultural-historical theories of human cognition. Various theories concerning mediation are briefly analyzed. The paper also explains how dialogues and trialogues are close to each other if, for example, the role of common ground is analyzed further. Lastly, design principles of the trialogical approach are concisely described.

The paper describes the architecture of Text Mining services for the Knowledge Practices Laboratory1 (KP-Lab). The Trialogical Learning and Activity Theory, as a new paradigm of e-Learning, stands behind the KP-Lab system. This approach requires active goal-oriented participation of learners, sharing of learning materials (knowledge artefacts), distributed and highly customizable learning envir...
متن کاملGerry Stahl Meaning and Interpretation in Collaboration
Because collaborative learning takes place through processes of shared meaning-making, CSCL must be concerned with the nature of meaning and social meaning-making practices. Philosophic analysis suggests that meanings are necessarily shared; they persist in linguistic and physical artifacts in our culture and situation. However, these meanings must be interpreted by individuals. There is a dyna...
متن کاملMeaning making in CSCL: conditions and preconditions for cognitive processes by groups
Meaning making is central to the interactions that take place in CSCL settings. The collaborative construction of shared meaning is a complex process that has not previously been analyzed in detail despite the fact that it is often acknowledged as being the distinguishing element in CSCL. Here, a three-minute excerpt from a discussion among three students is considered in some detail. The stude...

متن کاملSupport of Innovative Processes in a Computer-based Collaborative System
We present an approach to support of innovative knowledge processes that are based on trialogical learning. The key task in trialogical learning is to understand how the “weaker” forms of knowledge are used and made explicit in a meaningful way in collaborative processes. Trialogical learning provides mechanism by which non-explicit knowledge is conceptualized in collaborative systems. Within t...
