A qualifying paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in CATALOGER-FIX-ME Education. Abstract: Previous research has illustrated that student discourse affects the output and learning outcomes of student groups. We build on this literature by presenting a different focus; while many studies have made progress looking at the literal meaning ... read moreof a student’s words to another student (e.g. type of response to peer’s proposed idea), we look for evidence of student listening. We propose that listening happens along multiple dimensions, and that collaborative groups are doing a lot of work to understand not only the explicit content of utterances, but also the implicit messages from their peers.This paper presents data from a project to infuse computing into a high school statistics course. We analyze three episodes of video data to illuminate the different types of listening students are doing, and to refine methods for identifying them. Using these methods, future work can identify the work students are doing to listen to their peers, even in situations where groups do not seem to be communicating effectively. Once developed, this body of literature on how students are working together in groups will help inform how to support students’ development of effective group work practices.read less
