Online collaborative learning on an ESL teacher education programme
Abstract
This article examines the processes and potential benefits of online collaborative learning through a qualitative analysis of the postings made by a group of Malaysian student teachers on an assessed wiki-based collaborative writing project, completed over a period of nine weeks as part of a Bachelor of Education in Teaching English as a Second Language programme in the UK. Three categories of ‘talk’ are identified and exemplified through the analysis: social talk, planning talk, and language talk, with the findings showing high levels of collaborative behaviour during completion of the task, marked by interactivity, mutual respect, and interdependence; this helped develop a strong sense of a ‘community of practice’ within the group and a supportive, goal-oriented learning environment. There was also some, but less conclusive, evidence of processes of co-construction of learning and collective scaffolding. The article ends with a discussion of the implications for online collaborative task design and implementation in ESL teacher education contexts.

“Moreover, the creation of supportive learning environments and learning communities characterised by high levels of social presence were the result of strong collaboration, interactivity, mutual respect and interdependence (Cullen, Kullman, and Wild 2013), as well as shared values (Holmes 2013) and trusting human relationships (Li 2011).”

In the citing paper
“Effective practice relating to the use of pedagogical tools and technologies (e.g., gamification, animated clips, videos, wiki tools, podcasts, voice boards, virtual worlds, e-book readers, e-folio, MOOC) showed the need to use technologies that are appropriate for the task (Biasutti and EL-Deghaidy 2014;Cullen, Kullman, and Wild 2013).”

“Moreover, the literature highlighted the need to not only mastering the tools, but to understand their pedagogical possibilities to suit their own teaching purposes (Comas-Quinn 2011;Cullen, Kullman, and Wild 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
