Thesis (Ph.D.)--Northwestern University, 2003.

This dissertation, broadly speaking, is about building communities that facilitate learning. There are many documented efforts of designers creating community environments to enable improved student learning. Many of these efforts involve giving students the opportunity to participate in interesting settings with novel, educationally beneficial roles. Sometimes, the roles are complex, and students can find themselves without the social skills to participate effectively. When widespread, this social deficiency can interfere with the functioning of the community, and reduce the effectiveness of the environment for promoting student learning. This dissertation explores the question of how to help strengthen sub-optimally functioning community implementations with problems of this sort.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation, broadly speaking, is about building communities that facilitate learning. There are many documented efforts of designers creating community environments to enable improved student learning. Many of these efforts involve giving students the opportunity to participate in interesting settings with novel, educationally beneficial roles. Sometimes, the roles are complex, and students can find themselves without the social skills to participate effectively. When widespread, this social deficiency can interfere with the functioning of the community, and reduce the effectiveness of the environment for promoting student learning. This dissertation explores the question of how to help strengthen sub-optimally functioning community implementations with problems of this sort.
520 $a Drawing on ideas from a "community of practice" perspective, an intervention was designed for one particular student community engaged in the learning of computer artifact construction skills. Through the implementation of this intervention, the impact of explicitly promoting social skill development on overall community functioning and on student learning was explored. Some outcomes of the intervention included (a) desired social behaviors modeled in formal settings, transferring to unsupervised informal settings (including more frequent peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, greater student involvement in the management of work progress, and better use of shared resources) and (b) better community-wide technical learning.
520 $a This work provides a case study of how to strengthen weak community implementations. It suggests the importance of a healthy social culture in enabling the proper functioning of community learning environments, and provides a model for how to promote social skill development in other community learning environments.
