Abstract
Previous research studies on factors influencing student higher-level knowledge construction in asynchronous online discussions have largely focused on the instructors’ role, student learning style, and the complexity of the discussion task. This study explores the issue from a different angle – that of student facilitators’ habits of mind. Participants of the study were education major students at an Asia-Pacific university. Results suggested significant differences in the frequency of four habits of mind displayed by student facilitators between the group that had the most number of phase II–V occurrences and the group that had fewer numbers of such occurrences. This implies that student facilitators who display these habits more frequently may promote knowledge construction in online discussions.
