Technology affordances for intersubjective meaning making: A research agenda for CSCL |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
Now well into its second decade, the field of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) appears healthy, encompassing
a diversity of topics of study, methodologies, and representatives of various research communities. It is an appropriate time
to ask: what central questions can integrate our work into a coherent field? This paper proposes the study of technology affordances
for intersubjective meaning making as an integrating research agenda for CSCL. A brief survey of epistemologies of collaborative
learning and forms of computer support for that learning characterize the field to be integrated and motivate the proposal.
A hybrid of experimental, descriptive and design methodologies is proposed in support of this agenda. A working definition
of intersubjective meaning making as joint composition of interpretations of a dynamically evolving context is provided, and
used to propose a framework around which dialogue between analytic approaches can take place. |
