Resumen

Este trabajo estudia algunas características de la colaboración entre los participantes en tareas de elaboración de un texto en entornos virtuales de comunicación asíncrona escrita, y su relación con el nivel cognitivo y de uso de los contenidos de aprendizaje. El estudio se centra en el análisis de la Presencia Docente y la Presencia Cognitiva y de sus relaciones mutuas. El análisis de la primera incluye las dimensiones de gestión de la participación, gestión de la tarea académica y gestión del significado, mientras que el análisis de la segunda incluye indicadores relativos al nivel cognitivo y sociocognitivo de las contribuciones así como al grado de aprendizaje. Los participantes fueron 4 grupos de alumnos de la titulación de maestro, organizados en grupos de trabajo, que realizaron un mismo tipo de tarea, con las mismas consignas y características instruccionales a lo largo de cinco semanas usando un foro electrónico. El estudio realizado muestra diferencias importantes en la estructura colaborativa de los grupos asociadas al tipo de presencia docente y cognitiva desarrollada por los participantes.

Abstract

This study addresses some characteristics of collaborative writing by an asynchronous written communication environment, and their relationship with the cognitive level and the use of contents in the discussion. The paper focuses on the analysis of Teaching Presence and Cognitive Presence and their mutual relationships. The analysis of Teaching Presence includes the dimensions of management of participation, management of task, and management of meanings. The analysis of the Cognitive Presence includes indicators about the cognitive and socio-cognitive level of the students' contributions, and the degree of learning. Participants were four groups of Initial Teacher Training students, who carried out the same kind of writing task, with the same instructions and course characteristics during five weeks, by means of an electronic forum. The study shows important differences in the collaborative structure of the groups concerning the kinds of Teaching and Cognitive presence of participants.
