N2 - This study explores grade four students' ways of contributing to knowledge building in history. Quantitative and qualitative analyses cover three months of online dialogue in Knowledge Forum. Preliminary results indicate that students were actively "building contexts," "theorizing" and "using substantive concepts"; the more they theorized, the more they asked questions, provided contextual details, and engaged historical concepts. "Introducing new facts" facilitated idea improvement. Outcomes will inform the design of scaffolds to support high-level historical discourse.
