Alagoz, Esra – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2013
The ability to argue well is a valuable skill for students in both formal and informal learning environments. While many studies have explored the argumentative practices in formal environments and some researchers have developed tools to enhance the argumentative skills, the social argumentation that is occurring in informal spaces has yet to be…

Asterhan, Christa S. C.; Schwarz, Baruch B. – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2010
In this paper, we present findings on moderation of synchronous, small-group argumentation in blended, co-located learning environments. Drawing on findings from the literature on human facilitation of dialogue in face-to-face settings, we first elaborate on the potential promise of this new practice. However, little is known about what…

Falcao, Taciana Pontual; Price, Sara – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2011
Tangible technologies and shared interfaces create new paradigms for mediating collaboration through dynamic, synchronous environments, where action is as important as speech for participating and contributing to the activity. However, interaction with shared interfaces has been shown to be inherently susceptible to peer interference, potentially…

Schwarz, Baruch B.; Schur, Yaron; Pensso, Haim; Tayer, Naama – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2011
Changing practices in schools is a very complex endeavor. This paper is about new practices we prompted to foster collaboration and critical reasoning in science classrooms: the presentation of pictures representing different perspectives, small group synchronous argumentation, and moderation of synchronous argumentation. A CSCL tool helped in…

Lund, Kristine; Molinari, Gaelle; Sejourne, Arnauld; Baker, Michael – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
The objective of the research presented here was to study the influence of two types of instruction for using an argumentation diagram during pedagogical debates over the Internet. In particular, we studied how using an argumentation diagram as a medium of debate compared to using an argumentation diagram as a way of representing a debate. Two…

Schwarz, Baruch B.; Glassner, Amnon – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
Argumentative activity has been found beneficial for construction of knowledge and evaluation of information in some conditions. Many theorists in CSCL and some empiricists have suggested that graphical representations may help in this endeavor. In the present study, we examine effects of type of ontology and of synchronicity in students that…
