Was macht das "CS" in "CSCL" eigentlich?

"Der Einsatz digitaler Technik sollte [...] der Erreichung pädagogischer Ziele dienen und nicht bloß zum Selbstzweck eingesetzt werden."
In diesem Beitrag beleuchten wir die Rolle, die "das Digitale" beim Lernen und Arbeiten in Kleingruppen spielen kann. Computertechnologie bietet viele verschiedene Möglichkeiten, Kooperation zu ermöglichen und zu beeinflussen. Computer können nicht bloß Kommunikation ermöglichen oder Aufgaben multimedial darstellen. "Smarte" Gegenstände oder Smartphones können Kooperation erleichtern, und Computeranwendungen können Gruppen Unterstützung bereitstellen, die genau auf diese Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten ist oder ihnen dabei helfen, die eigenen Zusammenarbeit zu beobachten und selbstgesteuert zu verändern. Neben den verschiedenen Rollen, die Computertechnik beim Kooperativen Lernen einnehmen kann, beschreiben und diskutieren wir einige Herausforderungen und Stärken digitaler Technik. Im Fokus stehen hier Fragen nach dem Zugang zu digitaler Unterstützung, ihrer Skalierbarkeit, ihrer Konfiguration, sowie der Frage nach einer Handlungsautonomie für die Lernenden.

Der Beitrag erschien im von Prof.'in Dr. Sandra Aßmann und Prof. Dr. Norbert Ricken herausgegebenen Sammelband "Bildung und Digitalität: Analysen–Diskurse–Perspektiven" und ist hier in digitaler Form zu finden:

New publication in the Journal of Instructional Science

Let's fail together... or not?

"Individual problem solving prepares students for learning in a subsequent instruction similarly well as collaboration. Collaborative problem solving does not forster a more beneficial preparation."

Research scientist Charleen Brand collected data at Harvard University

Research scientist Charleen Brand collected data at Harvard University during a 3-month research stay, from September to November 2022, as part of a research project funded by the Research School (PR.INT). The project is in collaboration with Professor Bertrand Schneider of the Learning, Innovation and Technology Lab at Harvard Graduate School of Education (https://lit.gse.harvard.edu/) that started in January 2022. Together they research how students compare and analyze knowledge components within erroneous solution attempts prior to instruction using eye-tracking technology. The collaboration continues in 2023.

New Article: Apprenticeship learning

Apprenticeship learning is a central macro-approach to how learning and teaching can take place, standing in contrast to schooling. In the apprenticeship learning approach, learning takes place in the real-life context in which the content to be learned is of immediate relevance. Learning is understood as developing expertise in practices relevant in the learner's current life, takes place in a fully contextualized way, and is situated in a meaningful social context of practitioners Apprenticeship learning is mostly applied to observable practices but can also be applied to cognitive skills. Bringing apprenticeship learning and schooling together to benefit from their unique strengths is a current trend in educational research and practice.
