  In Poster Session: 21.063-2 - Social and Cognitive Influences on Academic Performance

Abstract

This study examined the interweaving relations between cognitive and social dialogic processes and how dialogue patterns changed across recurrent discussions in the context of a dialogic instructional approach called Collaborative Social Reasoning (CSR). Four cognitive dialogue patterns (passive, active, constructive, interactive, Chi, 2009) and three social dialogue patterns (social support, mutual respect, equal participation, Lin et al., 2017) were identified from 8,673 speaking turns generated by 20 small groups of fifth graders (N =120) in three out of five weekly discussions (60 discussions in total). Results showed that cognitive dialogue patterns systematically co-occurred with certain social dialogue patterns at the dyadic level, and that students’ dialogic interactions became more interactive and more open to diverse perspectives over time in CSR.
