The effects of constructing domain-specific representations on coordination processes and learning in a CSCL-environment

Abstract: This study examined the effects of scripting learners’ use of two types of representational tools (i.e., causal and simulation) on their online collaborative problem-solving. Scripting sequenced the phase-related part-task demands and made them explicit. This entailed (1) defining the prob...
