Prompting Learner-Learner Collaborative Learning for Deeper Interaction: Conversational Analysis Based on the ICAP Framework

Abstract

There are many studies investigating the type of interactions that are important for the success of collaborative learning. Recently, studies have investigated the use of the Interactive-Constructive-Active-Passive (ICAP) framework to promote collaborative learning, to guide and prompt discussions and encourage wanted behaviors. A previous study investigating grounding and conflict prompts revealed that the target utterances of each prompt were facilitated. However, the analysis of how these prompts deepened the interaction process has not been examined sufficiently. Therefore, the current study reanalyzed utterances generated by dyads; a protocol analysis employing a coding scheme based on the ICAP framework was utilized. The results indicated that interactive utterance is fostered by presenting two prompts. In future studies, we plan to investigate the relationship between learning performance and the ICAP framework.
