Meeting Notes

This page contains notes on project meetings. Notes should be kept in reverse order. Live notes are on [pad] (which may not be permanent.)

2015-02-26

This means that there are 5 remaining deadlines/deliverables:

  1. Poster abstract draft is due to the group TOMORROW (Thursday) by midnight ETC via email, if not earlier. Claudia is doing the "cognitive apprentice literature review" poster and Fulya is doing the "case study of one interaction" poster as we discussed in Boston. (Come up with better titles for the posters, please!)
    • The format for poster abstracts is listed at http://ccscne.org/participate/student-posters/, and you have emails from us with more resources for making posters. Ask if you need anything else -- include questions, etc. with your draft. Your poster abstract will be reviewed by the conference committee, and they (not us) will be the final determinants as to whether your work is accepted -- so this is your last chance to get feedback from us before you submit. Mel will send you feedback on your drafts by 10am on Friday.
  2. Poster abstract is due to the conference THIS FRIDAY (2/27) by midnight ETC. Submit them on this site:
  3. Poster drafts are due March 25th to Mel and Heidi. Send copies of both posters to both of us via email. Heidi will email you a template for the actual poster.
  4. Final posters are due April 8th, 2015 to Mel and Heidi. Heidi will take responsibility for printing them and getting them to the conference.
  5. Final portfolios are due April 15th, 2015 to Mel and Heidi. This includes:
    • your research logs on the CREU wiki page, with at least 5 entries for the spring semester (submit by emailing us a link to the completed wiki page once you are done with this)
    • a completed annotated bibliography (a combined bibliography that you both work on -- figure out between yourselves how to divide this work) with proper APA-style citations -- submit by emailing us a .doc file or a link to a Google Doc
    • a 1000-2000 word reflection on the experience of doing research; what did you enjoy? what did you not enjoy? what do you think your strengths and weaknesses were as a researcher? what surprised and/or confused you? what questions remain in your mind about doing this type of research? if we could go back in time and send a letter to ourselves in September 2014, what would you write?

Tapia 2015

We may have identified a new type of cognitive apprenticeship method.

  • "bounding": mentee asking for something specific from the mentor (mentee putting boundaries on learning)
  • As opposed to scaffolding where the mentor establishes boundaries

Relationship Dynamics:

  • Product – Student is saying that they want something specific from the mentor and mentor provides it.
  • Diagnostic – Student identifies a problem and asks mentor to fix it. Doctor/patient. Gives more power to mentor. Mentee doesn’t know what they want.
  • Consultative – Collaborative problem solving. More of a peer relationship.
  • Confrontational – “Hey, you don’t realize you have a problem, but you have a problem.”

Attending: Mel, Heidi, Fulya

Update on annotated bibliography?

Valid channels:

  • wikimedia-dev
  • ubuntu-devel
  • ubuntu-app-devel
  • mediawiki
  • fedora-docs
  • fedora-admin

To do:

  • Drop Openhatch from logging
  • Continue logging the six channels above
  • Familiarize yourself to data
  • Read through it all and become familiar with the contents.
  • Know the stories so that you could answer questions about the data
  • Print out your own copy of the data so that you can annotate as you like
  • Use headers and page numbers
  • Make sure that you understand your own notation
  • Keep file names, timestamps in with the data so that we can easily locate particular points in each document
  • Look for areas that fit existing Cognitive Apprenticeship approaches
  • Also identify areas that hold learning that don't appear to fit the six strategies - Flag things to be looked at when we are in a group

2015-01-28

Attending: Mel, Heidi, Claudia, Fulya

To do:

  • Find some additional articles on cog apprenticeship with o

Channels to log this coming week

  • fedora-docs
  • fedora-admin
  • openhatch
  • mediawiki
  • wikimedia-dev
  • ubuntu-app-devel

Look into coding with dedoose?

Annotated bibliography outline

  • Start with history of CogApp (offline learning of sci/math/english for kids)
  • Move to college-level CS
  • start with theory (they all sorta have the same idea)
  • experience reports (novice-level first, then intermediate-level)

Pad for paper: https://titanpad.com/CAPaper

Coding of data:

  • Heidi and Fulya have practice coded (in google drive)
  • Go over the difference between coaching and scaffolding (both include offering hints/suggestions).
  • Difference between Modeling and Scaffolding (both involve executing parts of the task).
  • Modeling = the coach is doing the task
  • Scaffolding and Coaching = the student is doing the task
  • Coaching = student is already doing the task and the mentor is providing feedback during the task
  • Scaffolding = what needs to happen before the student gets started on the task.
  • Software to help code? Mel had mentioned software to help with this.
    • dedoose

Data:

  • Bugs, gnome-hackers, gnome-love, Wikimedia = nothing
  • Fedora-docs 1-22 (?)
  • Ubuntu 1-18 through 1-23, 1-26
  • Find other channels to log?

Tapia:

  • We are three weeks out.
  • What plans do we need to make?

2015-01-12

  • Goal: Log week of January 19th
  • Just start logging once we get it set up.
  • MC and CS work on bibliography
  • FK and HE will review coding and code a small example - Thursday?
  • FK and HE will review during next meeting
  • CS and MC will look at what we make out of bibliography with respect to a paper

Research approach:

  • Simple: mini-case study and show examples of CA approaches - give folks in TOS a vocabulary for talking about what they do
  • Look at what we have, what techniques are covered, and select some good examples and look for examples to fill in any holes.
  • Explaining paper.
  • How frequently is a technique uses in an OSS environment?
  • Set up data logging in 3-4 active IRC channels for a week.
  • Becomes our data corpus and we examine that data.
  • Which techniques? how often? which people?
  • Fedora admin, fedora dev, fedora doc
  • Mediawiki, ubuntu, gnome
  • Or log 10 channels and pick the most interesting
  • Should end up with 50-100 pages of transcript (good rich data)
  • SSH into a server and install irssi and have it automatically keep track of IRC logs
  • Setting in install or config

Remaining deliverables:

  • Write up literature review
  • Collect & clean up dataset (before Tapia)
  • Analyze (at Tapia)
  • Write up final paper

Proposed timeline by week

  • 1/12 - get IRC logging set up (WNEU), organize annotated bibliography (Purdue)
  • 1/19 - log! a lot!
  • 1/26 - read logs and choose final data subset
  • February before Tapia: get familiar with data
  • Tapia: CODE LIKE MANIACS
  • Afterwards: write stuff

Attending: Heidi, Fulya, Claudia, Mel

Annotated Bibliography

  • Fulya and Claudia each do 5 articles a week for the next 3 weeks = 30 articles
  • What are the criteria for selecting articles to read:
    • Whether the article touches on multiple categories
    • Can only read an article that touches on one category of cognitive apprenticeship

Find 5 articles:

  1. . Pick 10 articles with likely titles
  2. . Look at abstract and conclusion and see if they say something interesting about cognitive apprenticeship
  3. . If they say something interesting, then read the article

Tapia

  • Travel in February to Tapia
  • Early bird registration ends 12/4/14

Data Collection

  • openhatch
  • google summer of code
  • gnome outreach project for women - Joanie
    • What are the projects, who is student, who is mentor, what are IRC nick, what channels are used, find which channels that are logged, and then find mentor/mentee interactions

  • Development mailing lists
    • Fedora
    • Ubuntu
    • Mediawiki

2014-11-07

Attending: Heidi, Fulya, Claudia, Mel

  • Reminder: Put logs on the wiki
    • Update regularly
  • Zotero bibliography
    • Add personal libraries into group collection
    • Remove duplicates
    • Tag items/organize into categories - later
    • Claudia please add what you've found to the group collection
  • Annotated Bibliography
    • Goal: Draft of annotated bibliography by Thanksgiving break
    • On wiki
    • Organize in categories
    • Within each category by first author last name
    • Each article:
      • 3-5 sentence description
      • Should address our thinking on the research questions:
        • How do cognitive apprenticeship coaching strategies appear in learner-community coaching interactions (in HFOSS)?
        • How do consultative relationship dynamics relate to the use of cognitive apprenticeship coaching strategies in learner-community coaching interactions?
          • Address this one secondarily
        • How can we use the frameworks of cognitive apprenticeship and consultative relationship dynamics to understand why students might perceive certain interactions as “successful” or “unsuccessful” regarding their learning as computing majors?
        • In other words, each article should help shed light on how we think about the above questions. We don't expect them to answer the questions, but should help us to think about the questions and how to find solutions.

To do:

  • Fill in the "Databases and Search Terms" section of the wiki. Let Mel and Heidi know once you've done so so that we can review
  • Eliminate duplicates
  • Pick five articles to review and pass by Heidi and Mel
  • Winnow articles - Mel?

2014-10-31

Attending: Heidi, Fulya

  • Reviewed results of lit search.

2014-10-24

Attending: Heidi, Fulya, Claudia

  • Reviewed lit search status
  • Pertinent questions discussed:
    • What sources have we found?
    • What search term(s) is your librarian using?
    • How to you approach the body of literature found?
    • How do you organize the papers?
    • How do you decide if a paper is worth reading?
    • How to you actually read a large body of literature?
  • In logs, keep track of:
    • Search terms
    • Sources searches

WNE Library suggestion for using "Find It!": It does not cover all of our databases with the single search. I can provide you with a list, if you need one. But for your purposes, I would use the library database A-to-Z list to compare with Purdue: http://www1.wne.edu/library/index.cfm?selection=doc.2334 I would recommend this option because the search algorithm in FindIt may bury some results if you are doing more advanced research (in the same way Google might) depending on the relevancy, number of hits, etc. Personally, I think that FindIt may work best as a research starting point, and that going into more specific subject-oriented databases may provide better results for technical/advanced research.

2014-10-17

Attending: Mel, Fulya, Claudia

  • Lit search
    • Discussed how to use a librarian's time well
      • What questions to ask
      • What to ask, etc.
  • Zotero
    • Showed Claudia and Fulya how to enter things in Zotero
  • Goal from librarian meetings:
    • Find as many sources as you can so that we can triage for lit review
    • Write down search procedure librarian used so that we can reproduce for later in project (or life(
  • Discussed how to read papers

2014-10-10

Attending: Fulya, Heidi, Claudia at 5:30

  • Reviewed approach to searching and setting up Zotero accounts
    • Group library at: https://www.zotero.org/groups/creu-hfoss
      • Mel uploaded four papers
      • Upload Upload citations and notes for the new papers we are finding, as well as editing/adding notes of your own for those first 3 paper
    • Notation:
      • Q [page #] is a direct quote
      • P [page #] is a paraphrase/summary
      • N [page #] are notes -- my own thoughts on what I'm reading
      • In lieu of a page number, I might use "^" to mean "same as the previous excerpt." So for instance, "P 13-15: [blah blah blah blah]" is a paraphrase/summary of p. 13-15, and then "N ^: [blah blah]" following that are notes on the section just paraphrased (p. 13-15).
  • Next:
    • Meet with your school's librarian and continue to find additional sources for our literature review (as discussed in previous meetings)
    • Install Zotero and create an account
    • Join our group library (URL above)
    • Add a citation to our group library for at least one of the new papers you've found. If you want, upload your notes as well.

2014-10-03

Attending: Fulya, Heidi, Claudia at 1:00

  • Sent request about funding for Hopper and Tapia to CREU folks
  • For the next several weeks:
    • We need to do a survey to answer the question: "How do ideas from cognitive apprenticeship theory show up in existing writing about mentoring and educational participation in open source projects?"
    • Involves reading and summarizing cognitive apprenticeship and other related papers
    • First step is a lit search:
      • Make an appointment with your friendly research librarian
      • Ask them to help you search for relevant articles - you may want to prepare them by sending them the CREU application so that they know what we're looking at
      • Likely search terms are "mentor*" and "open source" and "education"
      • Report back for next time on what terms your librarians suggested and if you have a list
      • Results should be posted in common Zotero libary

    • Delve into the paper

2014-09-12

Attending: Mel, Fulya, Heidi

Reviewed the six approaches used in Cognitive Apprenticeship. Started trying to tag the transcript in sample assignment with the approaches.

For next week:

  • Read the three articles Mel identified
  • Summarize each in 3-5 sentences - one per paper
  • Go through the transcript and reflections in homework assignment and code the text
    • Highlight the text and tag with the appropriate cognitive apprenticeship approach - in google docs

2014-09-03

Attending: Heidi, Claudia, Fulya

Purpose: Organization

  • Intros and Background
  • CREU guidelines and paperowk
  • Outline research
    • Literature search
    • Create instrument
    • Project infrastructure
    • Define first steps and timeline
      • Step 1 - Look at last year's projects for examples of web site organization
      • Step 2 - Read articles on lit search (as per Mel's email)
        • Obtain and read http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tl.37219914805/abstract, and be prepared to ask me to specifically assume (and switch between!) interaction roles of your choice during our first working-meeting ("Mel, we'd like you to use a consultative relationship now." "Ok, now let's see what a product relationship feels like.")
        • Read http://www.scribd.com/doc/201816780/A-Cognitive-Apprenticeship-Primer, which is a short intro.
        • On a single side of a single sheet of paper, make your own cheat sheet for the cognitive apprenticeship learning techniques (modeling, coaching, scaffolding, fading, reflection, and articulation). You can print mine, adapt mine, or start your own from scratch; these can be in any format, and nobody else ever needs to see them. We'll be practicing some behavorial coding in the first work-meeting, so this one page will be your quick reference field guide so that you can identify what code to use (so if I show you something and say "what's that?" you can name which of the 6 techniques is being displayed).
        • Find, download, and print the 3 bolded papers in the references section of that document. You do not need to read these yet (you have tons of reading already!) We'll go over how to read scholarly literature in our first working-meeting.
  • Remember to complete the CREU final report early.
    • May 4th is deadline, but Claudia will be in finals at that time
