Abstract

Currently, available technologies offer several possibilities to provide scaffolding to students in order to support and guide their learning. Given the growing importance of active learning and considering that while they can involve individual efforts, they bestow better results if encompassing collaborative activities, it is relevant to investigate what types of scaffolding support idea generation and organization, and intellectual convergence, which are typical activities of collaborative learning. In this light, technological tools were analyzed aiming at evaluating their functionalities to offer scaffolding to students. LMS Moodle and Google Workspace for Education educational applications were explored and used in a case study carried out with graduate students to investigate strategies to organize collaborative learning activities. For collective construction of knowledge on this issue, the Knowledge Forum environment was used with specific scaffolds prepared. However, case study participants could suggest and change them. Our results showed that flexibility in defining scaffolding structure using the Knowledge Forum tool gave students better learning conditions, and facilitated results from a collaborative construction of knowledge.
