Abstract

Over recent years, while studies about computer-supported collaborative learning increased gradually, more and more researchers recognized the importance of social interactions in the CSCL environments. Social interactions can be divided into on-task and non-task interactions. Non-task interactions embraces some social and affective activities which are not directly learning related such as greetings, social support, and friend making. Many studies have demonstrated that non-task interactions can improve students’ learning performance. To investigate the research status of interaction in computer-supported collaborative learning environment, we therefore conduct a research about publication patterns about the social and affective studies from 2001 to 2011.
