| Description | Collaborative learning has potential to promote student peer relationships, help to develop positive learning attitudes, and improve learning outcomes. Moreover, the more students talk, the more they learn. On the other hand, student disengagement from a collaborative task renders the task useless. It is therefore beneficial to understand the processes driving interactions of individual students during collaborative tasks and processes leading to some students being excluded from group interactions. This research builds on videorecorded collaborative tasks collected from 62 groups – each comprising 3 to 5 students – from 6 Czech elementary classrooms. The collaborative tasks were implemented by 6 different teachers under the supervision of our research team as part of a larger research project aimed at improving communication in classrooms. This research employs dynamic network actor models to addresses the question “What influences interaction during collaborative tasks in elementary classrooms?” |
