Sinossi
Exploring the software design, social practices, and collaboration theory that would be needed to support group cognition; collective knowledge that is constructed by small groups online.
Innovative uses of global and local networks of linked computers make new ways of collaborative working, learning, and acting possible. In Group Cognition Gerry Stahl explores the technological and social reconfigurations that are needed to achieve computer-supported collaborative knowledge building—group cognition that transcends the limits of individual cognition. Computers can provide active media for social group cognition where ideas grow through the interactions within groups of people; software functionality can manage group discourse that results in shared understandings, new meanings, and collaborative learning. Stahl offers software design prototypes, analyzes empirical instances of collaboration, and elaborates a theory of collaboration that takes the group, rather than the individual, as the unit of analysis.
Stahl's design studies concentrate on mechanisms to support group formation, multiple interpretive perspectives, and the negotiation of group knowledge in applications as varied as collaborative curriculum development by teachers, writing summaries by students, and designing space voyages by NASA engineers. His empirical analysis shows how, in small-group collaborations, the group constructs intersubjective knowledge that emerges from and appears in the discourse itself. This discovery of group meaning becomes the springboard for Stahl's outline of a social theory of collaborative knowing. Stahl also discusses such related issues as the distinction between meaning making at the group level and interpretation at the individual level, appropriate research methodology, philosophical directions for group cognition theory, and suggestions for further empirical work.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. This work explores the necessary software design, social practices, and collaboration theory to support group cognition, defined as collective knowledge constructed by small online groups. The innovative use of global and local networks of linked computers enables new forms of collaborative working, learning, and acting. The author examines the technological and social changes required for computer-supported collaborative knowledge building, emphasizing how group cognition can surpass individual cognition limits. Active media provided by computers facilitate social group cognition, allowing ideas to develop through group interactions. The software's functionality can effectively manage discourse, leading to shared understandings and collaborative learning. The author presents software design prototypes, analyzes real-world collaboration examples, and develops a collaboration theory focused on groups as the primary analytical unit. Design studies highlight mechanisms that support group formation, diverse interpretive perspectives, and knowledge negotiation across various applications, including collaborative curriculum development by teachers and NASA engineers' space voyage designs. The analysis reveals how small-group collaborations create intersubjective knowledge through discourse, forming the basis for a social theory of collaborative knowing. Additionally, the author addresses the distinction between group-level meaning m. Codice articolo 9ace6498-1f1d-42ff-bc74-f98e4fca1042
