| Research Abstract |
This research treats of an aspect of human activities which is referred to as emergent division of labor (EDL), that people interactively and contingently organize, maintain, reorganize division of labor. We argue that such a field of EDL can be a rich repertory of learning opportunities. The goal of the research is to analyze actual process of EDL so that necessary conditions to support EDL become clear, to establish methodology of learning environment design based on the EDL point of view by means of development of CSCL system for supporting smooth EDL.
In specific, we worked on the following researches,
・ Ethnomethodological analysis of the practice of EDL in collaborative learning scenes in face-to-face situation
・ Theoretical research on requirements to accomplish EDL and the ways to support EDL
・ Development and evaluation of a synchronous CSCL system for supporting smooth EDL
・ Development of video observation and analysis tool for learning through discussion on video data
・ Research on facilitating discussion on BBS in remote collaborative learning of higher education
・ Empirical study on remote collaborative learning over the Internet for continuing and vocational education
As the result, we proposed design principles of CSCL revealed by analysis of EDL process, developed a synchronous CSCL system KneadingBoard and a video observation and analysis tool CIAO, which is provided as a freeware on the Internet.
