Development and Examination of a Formative Assessment Approach to Facilitating Learning as Knowledge Building

从知识创造隐喻的角度出发，开发一种新的评估方法来捕捉新思想的产生，是一个迫切需要解决的问题。本研究试图以社会网络分析为工具，提出知识创造实践的指标，并展示如何将其应用于丰富的学习数据。在CSCL环境中提供不同类型支架的两个课堂实践中，使用我们的指数进行了评估。通过普通的内容分析，提出了知识创造实践的新见解和新发现。

It is an urgent issue to develop a new assessment for capturing how new ideas emerge from the perspective of knowledge creation metaphor. This study attempts to propose indices for knowledge creation practices with Social Network Analysis as a tool and demonstrate how it could be applied to the rich data of learning. Two classroom practices, where different types of scaffolds were provided on a CSCL environment, were assessed by using our indices. It was found that new insights of knowledge creation practices were suggested as well as findings by ordinary content analysis.
