联通主义学习中协作问题解决的角色互动研究

A Study of Role Interaction of Collaborative Problem Solving inConnectivism Learning

联通主义学习强调群体智慧的汇聚和真实问题的协作探究,关注角色互动有助于揭示群体协作的认知规律。文章以联通主义课程中参与问题解决的协作者为研究对象,采用主题分析、时序分析、聚类分析、社会网络分析等方法,从角色展现、角色协调、角色结构三个维度进行分析。研究发现:(1)协作者主要有7种角色类型:组织者、整合者、执行者、辅助者、跟随者、边缘者、辍学者;(2)组织者到辍学者的角色能级依次降低,组织者角色稳定性最高,其次是辅助者和整合者,执行者、跟随者、边缘者的角色稳定性较低;(3)稳定领导型、渐入佳境型、忠实辅助型是主要的个体角色结构,且稳定领导型的组间交互要显著多于后两者,但整体群际间交互较为薄弱。研究结果进一步证实了复杂集体学习行为的自组织、涌现性、非线性、动态平衡、强内聚、松耦合等特征。

Connectivism learning emphasizes the convergence of group wisdom and collaborative inquiry of real problems,and focusing on role interaction helps reveal the cognitive laws of group collaboration.This paper takes the collaborators involved in problem solving in a connectivism course as the research object,and uses the methods of thematic analysis,temporal analysis,cluster analysis,and social network analysis to analyzes them in three dimensions:role presentation,role coordination,and role structure.It is found that:(1)there are seven main role types of collaborators:organizer,integrator,executor,supporter,follower,marginal man,and dropout;(2)The role energy level of organizers to dropouts decreases in order,the role of organizer is the most stable,followed by supporter and integrator,and the roles of executor,follower,and marginal man are less stable;(3)The main individual role structures include stable leader,progressive leader and faithful supporter,and the stable leader has significantly more intergroup interactions than the latter two,but the overall intergroup interactions are weak.The findings further confirm the characteristics of complex collective learning behaviors such as self-organization,emergence,nonlinearity,dynamic equilibrium,strong cohesion and loose coupling.
