Knowledge building is a principle-oriented pedagogy that promotes idea-centered learning. Despite the past 30 years of knowledge-building research, integrating this research into the collaborative learning context in Taiwan remains dependent on teachers’ability to understand and conceptualize knowledge-building principles. This study examined how four novice teachers understood, applied, and assessed knowledge-building principles through in-depth interviews and a qualitative analysis of their strategies and reflections before and after the provision of instruction. The findings indicated that knowledge-building principles increased the teachers’flexibility and responsiveness, enabling them to proactively observe their students, conduct real-time assessments, and adjust their lessons as required. The teachers also gained awareness of their evolving roles in collaborative environments, demonstrating a dynamic and adaptive approach to teaching. |
