Here are notes from Chapter 2. Working from my ipad, I added Chapter 2 to Chapter 1 notes. Not a good idea since you need to scroll through. So, go to about page 21 in the pdf for some interesting literature on Social Learning construct. Research seems to support it…but not a high rate of success. My thought, the context is not authentic (learner centered). The project learning seems to originate with the instructor (instructor centered).
Sorry to mislead you. P. 21 in the dissertation, sites research in critical thinking and uses Blooms as a model for the levels of thinking. The social learning construct research follows on p. 23 of the dissertation, the role of interaction and presence.
