Collaborative group work in mathematics: Power relationships and student roles:
Abstract:
This paper is a report of work-in-progress on the first stage of an ethnographic study of students' experiences of collaborative learning in secondary mathematics classrooms. One aim of the study was to investigate the interaction of student gender and the social construction of mathematical competence in collaborative learning contexts. Students working in small groups on investigative activities were observed and videotaped, and key informants interviewed. One approach to analysing student-student interactions was to identify the discourses circulating in the classroom and the subject positions taken up by the students. This helped to throw light on some of the ways in which power is exercised within small groups of students working independently of the teacher.

Enterprise software has been on a roller coaster of innovation in recent years. This has primarily been driven by innovations in user experience that started in the consumer web space and then seeped into the enterprise. This new class of enterprise software, dubbed social business software, intends to create enterprise social networks and deliver new social tools for creating conversations and providing one to one interactions.
Vendors of this social software have repurposed social media tools from the consumer web by wrapping them in an enterprise message. Suddenly social networks, social bookmarking, forums, blogs, video sharing and microblogging are the new path to productivity. Alas, it has become all too clear that individually these applications have not delivered for the enterprise in a meaningful way. As a result the industry has seen a bevy of enterprise social software suite vendors returning to the 1990s with product development that is driven by feature checklists.
