Our research team is happy to finish our big data collection in Ritaharju secondary school in Oulu, Finland. We have had excellent collaboration with teachers planning, designing and carrying out collaborative science tasks in a physics topic of light and sound. For the first time we have been able to follow more than 100 students working in small groups for several months as a part of their real school work. This has given us an opportunity for long-term temporal multimodal data collection. A special case is that we work in authentic school context capturing all the intervening factors present in real school life. 

Yes, we know this will be challenging when we start analyzing the data - it will be messy and complex, but interesting for sure! It will be definitely worth it though. We genuinely believe that the data will help us to take next steps in our understanding of socially shared regulation in collaborative learning. Thank you for the great collaboration teachers’ and students’ in Ritaharju school! Thank you also our great research team! You all deserve a warm thank you for the huge efforts!

​We are eagerly waiting for New Year and to start working with the data. Before that it’s time to relax. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas from the LET team!
