Reconstruction of a Collaborative Mathematical Learning Process
Pijls, Monique; Dekker, Rijkje; Van Hout-Wolters, Bernadette
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v65 n3 p309-329 Jul 2007
The study focused on the interaction between two secondary school students while they were working on computerized mathematical investigation tasks related to probability theory. The aim was to establish how such interaction helped the students to learn from one another, and how it may have hindered their learning process. The assumption was that interaction is beneficial for students if they can perform certain key activities, namely showing, explaining, justifying, and reconstructing their work. Both students attained mathematical level raising. However, the student who explained frequently and criticized himself attained more mathematical level raising than the student who did not explain her work frequently or criticize herself.
