Mutual-Modeling

Learning: ? animated pictures ? collaboration ? multimedia-contents.
Mutual-modeling project: active problem-solving task ? mutual-model ? collaboration

CleAP project:

• multimedia based learning


• collaboration


• animated pictures


• multimedia-contents


• passive-learning


• retention and transfer tasks


• pre-test/post-test paradigm


• Split-interaction effect


• collaboration load


• Geo and/or Astro materials
  

Mutual-modeling project:

• problem-based learning


• collaboration


• collaborative games


• awareness tools


• active-learning


• mutual-modeling questionnaire


• post-test interviews


• mutual-modeling load


• collaborative problem-solving tasks

Why CleAP paradigm doesn?t fit the Mutual-Modeling project?

• no awareness tool


• poor-interaction task


• passive learning (hard to measure MM)

The main problem to conciliate CleAP and Mutual-Modeling projects lies in the integration of animations in a problem-solving task.

After reading Sperber and Wilson, 1986, I came up with a new definition of mutual modeling: process by which an individual (i) picks up facts he/she estimates to be MANIFEST and RELEVANT in his/her cognitive environment (with regard to the partners? intents), (ii) builds a representation (more or less formal) about the partners? intents.
