Abstract

This study aimed to understand the dynamics that characterized the social practices developed by low-achieving students in a knowledge-building (KB) environment augmented by reflective assessment (RA), using activity systems analysis (ASA). The participants were a class of 20 Grade 11 low-achieving students working with an experienced teacher. Various classroom data was collected and analyzed. Findings indicated that, the students’ activities were mediated by: opportunities for collective reflection, the framing of data-driven collective discourse improvement and the development of new skills and interests. Pedagogical implications for future implications were also discussed.
