T-PROS because they did not occur <strong>in</strong> the pro<strong>to</strong>cols. In order <strong>to</strong><br />

present data, for GROUP, TOOL and KM three measures were calculated,<br />

Cod<strong>in</strong>g scheme used <strong>to</strong> label the contributions from the chat pro<strong>to</strong>cols.<br />

<strong>The</strong> annotation process also led <strong>to</strong> the generation <strong>of</strong> many specific<br />

rules applicable <strong>to</strong> the cod<strong>in</strong>g categories and examples <strong>of</strong> appropriate<br />

contributions for each category that was created. In table 6.2 the most<br />

important rule for each category is given <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g a pro<strong>to</strong>typical example<br />

<strong>of</strong> a contribution for the particular category. One important additional<br />

rule was that the category GROUP always overrules the categories<br />

TOOL and KM. Thus, a contribution <strong>in</strong> the form <strong>of</strong> a question<br />

was always coded as GROUP. This was done <strong>in</strong> order <strong>to</strong> specifically pay<br />

attention <strong>to</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> <strong>metacognitive</strong> <strong>skills</strong> <strong>in</strong> a collaborative context.
