Examining social interaction patterns for online apprenticeship learning - Jens Bennedsen, Ola Berge and Annita Fjuk; ERODL
The article shows and discusses social interaction patterns that developed in an online learning environment where the pedagogical design was inspired by ideas found in apprenticeship learning. The embedded study comprised a case study of an introductory online course on object-orientation and a design experiment carried out in the same course in the following semester. The case study indicates that support for the teacher's awareness information on the learners' level of knowledge and progression is critical for successfully developing social interaction patterns of teacher guidance. The design experiment identified that learners' pre-prepared solution of the problem was vital means for developing productive social interaction patterns concerning collective reflections and joint problem solving.
