Linkages between cognitive and social dialogue patterns during collaborative small-group discussions

BackgroundCollaborative small-group discussions have the potential to promote reading comprehension, critical thinking, and argumentation. However, few studies have gone beyond cognitive processes to understand the social characteristics of dialogue and their potential contributions to students’ cognitive processing in turn-by-turn dialogic exchanges.AimsThis study closely examined dialogues between speakers and addressees regarding their levels of cognitive processing (i.e., cognitive dialogue patterns) and social processes reflecting social cohesion (i.e., social dialogue patterns). The aims were to understand, first, the relations between students' cognitive dialogue patterns and their social dialogue patterns, and second, the relations between students' cognitive dialogue patterns and peers’ social dialogue patterns.SampleThis study included 4070 speaking turns generated by 120 fifth-graders in 60 small-group discussions.MethodsStudents participated in small-group discussions, called Collaborative Social Reasoning. Dialogue between pairs of group members formed social networks, based on which Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) were specified.ResultsFindings showed that speakers' social dialogue patterns were associated with their cognitive dialogue patterns. However, receiving social dialogue patterns from peers did not always predict students’ advanced types of cognitive dialogue patterns.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that cognitive and social aspects of small-group discussions are intricately linked, and that encouraging social cohesion does not guarantee that students will engage in collaborative and critical discussions.     

印第安传统文化初探(之二)--印第安恶作剧者多层面形象的再解读

在印第安口头文学中,恶作剧者既担当着创世者和部族文化英雄的角色,又是边缘化的孑然独行者和社会道德规范的逾越者,以好色、饕餮、傲慢、反叛、贪婪、残忍、卤莽、懒惰等恶习和蠢行而著称,且每每因自己的恶作剧行为而遭受惩罚。印第安恶作剧者的这种多层面形象蕴涵着把和谐、平衡、统一视为最理想境界的印第安宇宙观,体现着作为印第安生活主干的印第安幽默;借助于对恶作剧者形象的戏谑和嘲讽,恶作剧者故事在听众的笑声中实现了印第安口头文学的教化功能,不仅保证了部族文化传统的世代延续,而且促成部族成员对印第安道德规范的接受与认同。
