Abstract | This paper aims to examine the discourse mechanisms that may lead to students' knowledge advancement in the context of CSCL. The online discussions of one primary (sixth-) and one secondary (tenth-) grade of students were analyzed. First of all, threads with the articulation of elaborated explanations were identified, as their appearance is considered as more indicative of the advancement of knowledge. Then by studying how students worked with the major concepts within each of the threads, three general mechanisms for knowledge advancement were found: 1) setting the conditions and limits of an idea; 2) comparing different concepts; and 3) differentiating concepts. The first mechanism could be observed quite frequently in the discourse of both grades of students while the latter two were more likely to be found in the discourse of the tenth-graders compared to the sixth-graders. © ISLS. |
