Abstract

Productive knowledge-building discourse requires students to work as a collective to solve shared problems. Students need to engage with each other socially while continually producing ideas, debugging understanding, and rising above multiple ideas to build high-level knowledge structures. To investigate complex socio-cognitive dynamics in knowledge-building discourse, this paper proposes to model discourse as a socio-semantic network (SSN) and then use network motifs-defined as recurring, significant subgraphs-to characterize the network and the discourse. A framework of SSN motif analysis is proposed according to knowledge-building discourse processes. To demonstrate the utility of the framework, we applied it to discourse data from two classes. Results revealed distinct motif profiles of two classes across two discourse phases. The framework of SSN motif analysis shows promise as a novel, theoretically informed approach to discourse analysis.
