Stances in 'Introduction': Learning Sciences - Introduction 1 - Move 1
(1) Select an 'Introduction' right arrow (2) Select a move in that 'Introduction' (What is this?)


Learning Objectives & Strategies:
Explore stances used (A) to make move (B) to support move-making in Move 1
1. Understand what the 3 moves are? ('Introduction' & 3 Moves).
2. Look at the sentences that make move and the stances used.
3. Look at the supporting sentences and the stances used.
4.
Compare why supporting sentences are differnt from move-making sentences.
5. Check out the ratios of stances used (A) to make move only & (B) overall in Move 1.

1 (Y) Generalization: Med Argumentative

1. There is much interest in education reform in using technology to support learners.

2 (Y) zoom in on one specific focus

Non Argumentative

2.One aspect of the argument for technology has been that --software can be used to help learners succeed in more complex tasks than they could otherwise master (Davis& Linn, 2000; Edelson, Gordin, & Pea, 1999; Guzdial, 1994; Quintana, Eng, Carra, Wu,&Soloway, 1999; Reiser et al., 2001).
3 (Y) definition of that specific focus, ?scaffolding

Non-Argumentative

3.Researchers have invoked the notion of scaffolding, a construct crafted to characterize how more experienced peers or adults can assist learners. (definition of that specific focus called scaffolding)

4 (N) develop on the focus, scaffolding Non-Argumentative: to describe fact 4. As defined in early research, scaffolding is said to occur when a more knowledgeable person helps a learner succeed in tasks that would be otherwise beyond their reach (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976).
5 (N) develop on the focus, scaffolding Tentative: to show some degree of 5.In the last two decades of learning sciences research, scaffolding has become increasingly prominent.
6 (N) develop on the focus, scaffolding Non-Argumentative: to describe fact 6.Scaffolding is a key strategy in cognitive apprenticeship, in which students can learn by taking increasing responsibility in complex problem solving with the guidance of more knowledgeable mentors or teachers (Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1989).
7 (N) develop on the focus, scaffolding Non-Argumentative: to describe fact 7.Many different approaches to scaffolding have emerged from the design research on interactive learning environments, --and a variety of design guidelines or principles have been proposed (Edelson et al., 1999; Guzdial, 1994; Kolodner, Owensby, & Guzdial, 2004; Linn, 2000; Reiser et al., 2001).
