Further Explanation

Esta expectativa estudiantil requiere que los estudiantes trabajen en grupo para definir expectativas y reglas en el salón de clases. Esto requiere que los estudiantes demuestren comprensión de la importancia de las contribuciones individuales en contextos grupales. Esto también requiere que los estudiantes respeten las opiniones de otros. Los estudiantes necesitarán trabajar en forma cooperativa escuchando activamente y compartiendo ideas. Los estudiantes tendrán amplias oportunidades para trabajar en forma cooperativa.

Students should understand that working productively with others requires a shared agreement of not only the goals of the partnership but also the expectations for behavior and processes for working and communicating together. These established guidelines can encourage the development of a sense of personal accountability and respect as students understand that their individual actions can impact the collective success of the group.

Summary: This research explored the use of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for math instruction in a collaborative versus individual learning environment, across a group of 4th and 5th grade students. Results showed that students spent less time when working collaboratively; however, the learning gains were the same for both individual and collaborative interaction with the ITS.

Summary:  The author examines the value of students' classroom discussion for oral language development. As a collaborative activity, students were required to adapt an assigned story into a multimodal format, which encouraged a "wide range of immediate, complex, and unplanned oral language" discussions as students had to "express views, justify ideas, negotiate, evaluate and collaborate to produce their planned oral scripts."

Summary: This research examines teacher-child and peer interactions during collaborative writing and writing-mediated play in 10 northern Canadian primary classrooms. In the collaborative writing contexts involving teacher-assigned texts, children more frequently talked about the letters and sounds of words, or the details of drawings in their texts. In both contexts, children used language for affiliative purposes, as the demands of the collaborative settings required that they find ways to get along with each other.
