GenericModeloflearningAffordances in TEL
Genericmodeloflearning 1/2 (Wang, 2008)The generic model consists of three key components: pedagogy, social interaction andtechnology. An educational system is a unique combination of pedagogical, social, andtechnologicalcomponents(Kirschner, Strijbos, Kreijns, & Beers, 2004).Figure 1. Key components of the generic model. Wang, Q.

Retrieved from http://www.informaworld.com/openurl?genre=article&doi=10.1080/14703290802377307&magic=crossref
Genericmodeloflearning 2/2 (Wang, 2008)“As a practical guideline, the design of the three components of the model can focus on learner–content, learner–people, and learner–interface interaction, respectively. For instance, the pedagogical design of an interactive learning environment can (1) make content meaningful, authentic, and relevant to learners and (2) allow learners to add further resources to share in addition to those suggested by a teacher. The social design of a learning environment ought to (1) involve more authentic tasks, group work, or project-based learning to promote interaction with peers, teachers and other experts, and (2) involve both synchronous and asynchronous communication, which can be implemented in forms of text, verbal chat or visual exchange. The technological design of a learning environment cannot ignore interface design, for both interaction with content and interaction with people are implemented through the interaction with the interface” (Wang, 2008, p. 414)ABCACBFigure 2.

Educationalaffordances“Educational affordances are those characteristics of an artifact (e.g., how a chosen educational paradigm is implemented) that determine if and how a particular learning behavior could possibly be enacted within a given context (e.g., project team, distributed learning community). Educational affordances can be defined - analogous to social affordances - as the relationships between the properties of an educational intervention and the characteristics of the learner (for CSCL: learner and learning group) that enable particular kinds of learning by him/her (for CSCL: members of the group too). ” (Kirchner, 2002)Table.

(Technologicalchangescreate) social affordances”Social affordances are properties of CSCL environment that act as social-contextual facilitators relevant for the learner’s social interactions. When they are perceptible, they invite the learner to act in accordance with the perceived affordances, i.e., start a task or non-task related interaction or communication. This definition of social affordance is inspired by the term technological affordance. Both are specializations of the general term ‘affordance’ described by Gibson (1986).” (K Kreijns & P. A.
