Abstract: | This paper suggests that online collaborative environments like Knowledge Forum provide an important arena for students to exercise their ability to formulate reflective ideas. A discourse analysis of three primary 4 classes’ verbal and written activities during a two-week science unit showed that, during online activities there was a significant increase in the number of words students used to answer questions and a higher diversity in the types of questions and answers online as compared to those in the classroom discourse. |
