Abstract
This study investigates the impacts of knowledge building on students’ views on collaboration. Participants were 53 fifth graders. Data mainly came from students’ online activities and pre-post interview with regard to students’ view on collaboration. Findings indicate that engaging students in knowledge building helped broaden students’ view of collaboration, enabling them to see collaboration not just from a task-driven, group-based perspective, but also from a more idea-centered perspective.
