abstract |
Empirical studies and theory suggest that educational dialogue can be used to support
learners in the development of reasoning, critical thinking and argumentation. This
paper presents an educational design for synchronous online peer discussion that guides
student dialogue in ways that lead to improved argumentation and collaborative knowledge
development. This design includes a mediating interface — or tool, linked to a broader
set of online educational activities — a designed local context, where the latter
aims to provide conditions that support argumentation. The approach is based on collaborative
working and dialogue game approaches to discussion. Preliminary findings with UK Open
University students showed the argumentation process was more coherent, varied, deeper
and extended when using our interaction design compared with the use of a simple unstructured
interface. |
