van Dijk, Alieke M.; Lazonder, Ard W. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
Having students inspect and use each other's work is a promising way to advance inquiry-based science learning. Research has nevertheless shown that additional guidance is needed for students to take full advantage of the work produced by their peers. The present study investigated whether scaffolding through an integrated support tool could bring…
