Replicating the Use of a Cognitive Presence Measurement Tool
Park, Caroline L.
Journal of Interactive Online Learning, v8 n2 p140-155 Sum 2009
This paper is a report of the replication of a seminal study on cognitive presence in computer mediated conferencing (CMC) by Garrison, Anderson, and Archer (2001). A comparison of cognitive presence coding by three different researchers is also demonstrated. The study re-ignites debates about what constitutes the segment of CMC data to be coded and the objectivity of this type of data. (Contains 6 tables and 3 figures.)
