Grundskoleelevers samlärande och undervisningen i informationssökning
Education in information seeking is often traditional and focused on technology. When it comes to this sort of education, research proves it is unusual to pay attention to the interaction between students. My intention has been to examine if it is possible to pay attention to the interaction between students, in order to create more and better situations of learning. The issues in this work are about describing the students? interaction. Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotskij are taking an interest in interaction in situations of learning. In a socio-cultural perspective, the interaction and social community are requirements for learning. I have used three kinds of approaches to peer learning along with definitions of collaborative learning in the analysis of my material. I have also compared my material to formulations in the Lpo 94.Research has been made, proving students often lack the knowledge needed to be able to handle a problem-based method of working. There are also researchers presenting results proving that students with guidance and education have developed knowledge to handle a problem-based method. To find answers to my questions, I have carried out observations of students? interaction when seeking for and using information by the computer. The results of the observations show that different forms of peer learning can be perceived, along with that the interaction is collaborative. Facts and skills are the forms of knowledge especially dealt with.
