Trialogical learning

Stub

Trialogical Learning refers to “Those forms of learning where learners are collaboratively developing, transforming, or creating shared objects of activity (such as conceptual artefacts, practices, products) in a systematic fashion. Trialogical learning concentrates on the interaction through developing these common, concrete objects (or artefacts) of activity, not just between people ("dialogical approach"), or within one's mind ("monological" approach)” (Trialogical Learning, retrieved 17:16, 13 June 2008 (UTC)).

Trialogic learning can be defined with respect to monologic and dialogic learning:

Tools

• See cognitive tools, in particular environments like CSILE.
• Simple software like wikis (e.g. some articles in our edutech wikis may be the trace of some trialogical learning
• The KP-LAB Project attemps to build software. The European Community's Knowledge-Practices Laboratory (KP-Lab) project is coordinated by Hakkarainen's research centre at the University of Helsinki. It is a large integrated European project (11.2 million euro, Information Society Technologies program, Technology Enhanced learning call) that involves 15 European countries and 22 organizations (2005-2010). The project will produce a modular, flexible and extensible system consisting of a cluster of inter-operable applications (i.e., shared collaborative spaces, semantic web knowledge services, communication platforms, ubiquitous user agents, inter-institutional access) which organize participants' collaborative activity around shared knowledge artefacts.
