Abstract:
This study is devoted to the qualitative analysis of dialogues conducted between students in a modern learning platform in which students learn how to learn together, argue and construct plans to resolve problems concerning scientific matters. The challenge-based scenario used in this research is related to the “Shots”. We are interested in the way students interact when using two types of pedagogical tools (Planning Tool, Argumentation Tool) in the Metafora Platform, as well as through Face to Face Communication. Results of analysis demonstrate that verbal communication has a coherent structure, when groups try to resolve the common challenge through the Argumentation Tool.
