Abstract
This article reports the findings of a study investigating patterns arising among elementary school students collaborating mediated by computer (CMC). The findings would provide teachers valuable implications for how to select adaptive intervening strategies in conducting a CMC activity. Two hundred and ninety-one students, ranging in age from eleven to twelve years old, participated in this study. The students were randomly arranged within-class into three-member groups. Each group used a collaborative computer system to accomplish a group assignment. All of the students' textual discussions were recorded and analyzed. Four patterns were identified, including "silent and passive", "frequently off-task", "actively participating" and "knowledge constructing".
