OLIVEIRA-JAYME, Bruno de; REIS, Giuliano; VAN EIJCK, Michiel  and  ROTH, Wolff-Michael. Aulas de ciências em laboratórios de informática: uma construção discursiva do monopólio participativo. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.35, pp.107-125. ISSN 1981-0431.

In the present study, we articulate how the nature of students’ interactions during computer collaborative work (CCW) is not only mediated by their physical arrangement within the group, but it also contributes to the emergence of monopolization. Using a socio-cultural theoretical approach to learning in conjunction with discourse analysis to investigate the verbal and non-verbal exchanges amongst members of a working group in an elementary science classroom, we discuss the negative implications of this unique type of group dynamic to group cohesion and science teaching and learning in such computer-based school environments.

Keywords : Technology and Education; Collaborative Work; Computer-Based Learning; Science Education; Discourse Analysis.
