Abstract

This study characterizes problem-solving discourse of middle school students as they worked collaboratively to solve the Rubik's Cube. In our analysis, we developed 12 categories to characterize students' problem-solving discourse. Results indicate the dyads approached the problem-solving task very differently, a reflection of the problem task's complexity and the diversity of students' organic approaches to collaboration and discourse.
