  1. From Collaborative Learning to Knowledge Building with Technologies Presented by A/P Tan Seng Chee National Institute of Education Hwa Chong Education Seminar 2011, 24 Jan 2011

  2. My Journey & Reflection Mindset change Technology Knowledge Building Collaborative Learning

  3. Why Collaborative learning?

  4. A community of practice Peripheral Central

  5. Situated Learning Professional learning in a Workplace is highly collaborative Learning in authentic workplace context, through experience, practice and interactions

  6. 一个都不能少

  7. Inter-dependence Collaboration is not a choice, It’s a necessity Shared cognitive load Distributed intelligence

  8. From milk bottle to sipping cup

  9. Vygotsky’s theory Learning through interactions with people with more advanced skills

  10. Why collaborative learning? Today Tomorrow Professional Learning and doing in workplace Learning in classroom

  11. What is collaborative learning?

  12. Cooperative Learning Inter- dependence Promotive Interaction Group Goal Individual Accountability Social Skill

  13. Jigsaw Method

  14. Missing piece

  15. What do our students think about collaborative learning? Maybe we divide them… to do the work. Some of them… we let them do drawing. Some of them search at the computer. And some of them help to write. (A Primary school student) They keep quarrelling… when their opinions are different… then when both of them get angry, they will just slap each other without any reason, I also don't know why. (A Secondary school student)

  16. When division of labour breaks down

  17. A classroom discourse

  18. Scaffolding vs Agency

  19. Are we doing well for collaborative learning?

  20. What can we do?

  21. Knowledge Building

  22. Knowledge building may be defined as the production and continual improvement of ideas of value to a community, through means that increase the likelihood that what the community accomplishes will be greater than the sum of individual contributions and part of broader cultural efforts. Scardamalia & Bereiter (2002)

  23. Knowledge Building in a Primary School • Pupils working on the topic of energy • Four lab activities within the topic were chosen to focus knowledge building activities

  24. What happened? Idea at the centre Group meaning making Agency

  25. PBL - Roller Coaster Accident

  26. Knowledge Constructor

  27. An initial note A roller coaster ride uses the work–energy theorem that work done by external forces is able to change the total amount of mechanical energy from an initial value to some final value. The amount of work done by external forces upon the object is equal to the amount of change in the total mechanical energy of the object. The theorem is stated in the mathematical equation below. KEinitial + PEinitial + Wexternal = KEfinal + PEfinal The left side of the equation includes the total mechanical energy (KEinitial + PEinitial) for the initial state of the object plus the work done by external forces (Wexternal), while the right side of the equation includes the total mechanical energy (KEfinal + PEfinal) for the final state of the (object). http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/mmedia/energy/ ce.htmlobject

  28. Meaningful use of knowledge As the KEinitial + PEinitial is always known. In the case of the roller coaster, PE = mgh KE = 1/2 mv2 PE can be calculated from the measurements and KE would be 0. By means of working backwards, we can find the force which occurs in the whole process. 0 + mgh + [–force × displacement × cosine (theta)] = 0 + 0 mgh = force × displacement × cosine (theta)

  29. Meaning Making Abstract world Theoretical knowledge Internet resources/ other authoritative sources Problem context and other supporting artifacts Physical world Everyday knowledge

  30. Meaning Making

  31. Key tenets of Knowledge Building

  32. From KB to Cogenerative Dialogue

  33. Roles of Technology

  34. Roles of the online forum Mediate communication

  35. Roles of the online forum To capture ideas

  36. Roles of the online forum To make ideas public

  37. Roles of the online forum To work on ideas

  38. Roles of the online forum To improve ideas

  39. Technology versus Pedagogy

  40. Dialectical relationship

  41. Revolution versus Evolution

  42. Key ideas Collaboration is a necessity Learning, in classroom or in professional settings, is social in nature
