摘要
During the last decade an increased interest has been observed on computer-supported collaborative problem solving. This relatively new area of research requires new methodological approaches of interaction and problem solving analysis. Usually analysis of collaborative problem solving situations is done through discourse analysis or interaction analysis, where in the center of attention are the actors involved (students, tutors etc.). An alternative framework, called "Object-oriented Collaboration Analysis Framework (OCAF)" is presented here, according to which the objects of the collaboratively developed solution become the center of attention and are studied as entities that carry their own history. This approach produces a reversed view of the process, according to which the solution is made of structural components that are 'owned' by actors who have contributed in various degrees to their development. OCAF provides both qualitative and quantitative measures of collaboration. It is shown that this framework can be applied effectively both in synchronous computer supported collaborative environments of distance groups and in face-to-face collaborative activities.
