Abstract

This paper reports the analysis of the online discourse of 44 sixth-grade students on an online platform in a Hong Kong primary school in the academic year of 2005-2006. A framework of two-step categorization is adopted to identify the patterns in a sustained knowledge building discourse, which integrates a category of four basic types of notes and SOLO taxonomy assessing the structural complexity in students' written discourse. This paper puts emphasis on the effect of argumentation in knowledge building processes, and provides insight on patterns of interaction in elementary students' online threaded discussions.
