Creating Web Portals with Children as Designers: Bonded Design and the Zone of Proximal Development (Création de portails Web avec les enfants comme concepteurs : Conception collaborative et la zone de développement proximal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT. The article presents a new technology design methodology that the authors have termed “Bonded Design᾿ and that was applied by two intergenerational teams comprising adults and grade-three elementary school students in one case, and adults and grade-six students in a second case. The objective of each team was to design a low-tech web portal prototype that elementary school students could use to find information on Canadian history to support class-based projects. The relationship between Bonded Design and Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) theory is explored, and the success of Bonded Design is explained in part by its use of the ZPD as a conceptual framework for the development of a community of designers. Creation de portails Web avec les enfants comme concepteurs : Conception collaborative et la zone de developpement proximal RESUME. L’article presente une nouvelle methodologie de conception technologique que les auteurs ont appelee « Bonded Design » ou conception collaborative et qui a ete appliquee par deux equipes intergenerationnelles composees d’adultes et d’eleves de troisieme annee du primaire dans un cas, et d’adultes et d’eleves de sixieme annee du primaire dans un deuxieme cas. L’objectif de chaque equipe etait de concevoir un prototype de portail Web d’une faible technicite que des eleves du primaire pourraient utiliser pour trouver de l’information sur l’histoire du Canada, afin de soutenir les projets en classe. La relation entre la conception collaborative et la theorie de Vygotsky sur la zone de developpement proximal (ZDP) est exploree, et le succes de la conception collaborative s’explique en partie par son utilisation de la zone de developpement proximal comme cadre conceptuel pour le developpement d’une communautee de concepteurs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
