Paper Abstract:
|
In order to foster students cognitive development with higher-order thinking, critical analysis, and development of
sophisticated arguments in English writing, an online social annotation tool was implemented for question-answering
tasks with reading documents. The effects of the online social annotation tool on the students changes in mental models
as well as their motivation for and achievement in a college argument and persuasion course were investigated. The
findings will be discussed along with implications and possibilities for future studies. |
