Analysis of Discourse Data

Summary

Contributor: Armin Weinberger (Saarland University)

Analysis of discourse data promises insights into the processes of (computer-supported) collaborative learning on multiple levels, from individual to group level processes of thinking and learning. Here we cover segmentation of data, arriving at a coding scheme, coder training and interrater-reliability, aggregation of coded data, and computational tools to support the coding of data.

These abstracts are living documents provided and modified by NAPLeS members. The more contributions we have towards refining the documents the more representative they will be of the community as a whole. If you would like to suggest revisions, please contact [email protected].
