Paper Abstract:
|
This study validates a theoretical framework for identifying social and cognitive regulation strategies applied by students
during the process of joint construction of meaning in cooperative tasks in a universitys virtual learning environment.
The study explored the regulation strategies of five groups of students, during two cooperative tasks. These tasks were
based on written argumentation, supported by virtual discussions and its completion was defined through a written report.
Through a case study methodology and by means of discourse analysis, three modes of regulation during cooperative
tasks: self-, external and co-regulation were identified. Students interactions revealed how they alternated and combined
the use of strategies to regulate the social and the cognitive dimension of their behavior. Moreover, it was possible to
identify four models of interaction; which reflected social and cognitive regulation strategies at different stages of
cooperative work. We believe this theoretical framework opens up possibilities for educational intervention during the
execution of cooperative activities, since it offers clues to evaluate these mechanisms and to promote them. |
