Abstract
This chapter examines collaborative learning as cognition at the small-group unit of analysis, and highlights theoretical questions concerning interrelationships among individual, collective, and cultural cognition. CSCL is a theory- and research-based pedagogical vision of what collaborative learning could be like, thanks to innovative computational supports and new ways of thinking about learning. Theories of CSCL are shaped by rapidly evolving digital technologies, pedagogical practices, and research methods. Relevant theories can be categorized as: subjective (individual cognition and learning), intersubjective (interactional meaning making), and inter-objectiveInter-objective (networks of learners, tools, artifacts, and practices). Theoretical insights suggest ways of enhancing, supporting, and analyzing cognition and learning by individuals, groups, and communities. The emerging ecology of socio-digital participation—involving students’ daily use of computers, mobile devices, social media, and the Internet—requires extending and synthesizing CSCL theories to conceptualize connected learning at multiple levels.
