Do different goals affect the configuration of university students' internal collaboration scripts? Results of an epistemic network analysis study

  • Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) offers a great potential for student learning. However, its successfulness is influenced by learners' internal collaboration scripts. Drawing from Script Theory of Guidance (SToG), which posits that internal collaboration scripts are dynamically configured based on learners' goals, this study explores how an induction of learning and performance goals influences the selection and sequence of activities learners perform during collaboration. N=233 pre-service teachers were asked to collaboratively analyze a classroom situation. The instructions included information on the importance of this task either for students’ competence development (learning goal condition), or for their performance (performance goal condition). While we found no significant differences regarding the change of selected scriptlets, Epistemic Network Analysis revealed distinct configurations in the sequence of scriptlets for learning and performance goal conditions.Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) offers a great potential for student learning.

The results partly support SToG's configuration principle, emphasizing the role of situational goals in shaping internal collaboration scripts.show moreshow less
