Abstract

Understanding how younger students can learn to collaborate, and affordances of the learning environment that can effectively support this, are critical questions for knowledge sharing, networking and innovation in education. Exploratory research results on emergent middle schooler collaborative activity in a guided discovery-based learning program are reported. Students in self-organizing game design teams experience certain challenges (e.g., version control), and innovate solutions. Some indicate meta-knowledge development and socialization gains. We conclude with ongoing questions.
