__**Summary**__ __**First Draft**__ ** Shared cognitions and shared theories: telling more than we can know by ourselves? ** The article discusses about a research involving shared cognition and shared theories. When it comes to shared cognition it speaks for its self - being a cognitive functioning shared by a set of group members, for instance, whenever there is a decision making process. On the other hand shared theories can be understood as a previous set of values already shared by a group.

Individual decisions differ from group ones, and what makes them different is the cognitions involved in them. Shared cognitions ‍‍‍refers‍‍‍ to consciously shared cognitive functions that occur within group ‍‍context, ‍‍with shared cognition they try to achieve a decision by sharing their thoughts with the rest of the group. Whereas shared social theories are shared assumptions and beliefs that may influence beliefs of a group, which puts them as a social baggage carried by individuals.

Another main aspect presented on the article is how group sharing information on ‍decision outcome ‍does not depend on what was or was not considered on the discussion, but depends strongly on individual cognition, although shared cognitions can: in some cases be superior to individual cognition through the process of correcting individual cognitions errors. Shared cognition is particularly influential on the final group decision, and ‍it actually is‍ a natural consequence of social interaction.

** What is collaborative learning? ** Learning is fundamentally influenced by the context you’re emerged in, therefore every a learning experience integrates the new material with what is already known by the learner – that means that the ideas need to be reorganized in order to create something new with the information shared. Based on the interaction between students and teacher a cooperative environment is created and students are free to share their thoughts, collaborative learning contributes to a better understanding of a subject, and it promotes a larger educational agenda.

Collaborative learning encourages students to acquire an active voice, to become more sensitive when it comes to hearing others and to develop an active civic life – due to the fact that they learn to make more valid judgments. In order to develop all those skills some activities are proposed such as seminars, peer teaching, and using virtual tools.

Isabella, your writing here is very difficult to understand. I would suggest going back to the text and looking at the main ideas again. It is a complicated text, so I understand that it is difficult to understand and to write about. This is the challenge: to write as **simply** as possible about complicated ideas. Your opening paragrpah is a good start- defining the two main terms that will be used. Use the rest of your summary to briefly describe how the author uses these theories to make some greater point the article. -Kimi

The article discusses research involving shared cognition and shared theories. When it comes to shared cognition, the words speaks for themselves - they refer to conciously shared cognitive functions which occur within a group, and it results in a decision making process. On the other hand shared theories can be understood as a previous set of values already shared by a group, they may influence the decision making process and therefore are taken in account when it comes to shared cognitions.
 * Shared cognitions and shared theories: telling more than we can know by ourselves? **

When it comes to the decision making processes there are two that are more relevant the Individual decisions and the group ones. The individual decisions differ from group ones, and what makes them different is the cognitions involved in them, whenever making a solo choice you consider the shared theories, that is the bagagge you carry, from society's common knowledge - shared assumptions and beliefs that may influence the beliefs of a group. Whereas when you make decisions in groups the shared cognition is also present - as consciously shared cognitive functions that occur within group context, with shared cognition they try to achieve a decision by sharing their thoughts with the rest of the group. Shared cognition was proved to be more effective when it comes to decision making due to the fact that the majority rule is guided by it as sharing thoughts is a natural consequence of social interaction, but the individual decisions can in some cases be the easier path to take, because they are less biased than the group ones. Another main aspect presented in the article is how the outcome of sharing information in groups ‍does not depend on what was or was not considered on the discussion, but depends strongly on individual cognition, although shared cognitions can in some cases be superior to individual cognition through the process of correcting individual cognition errors. Shared cognition is particularly influential on the final group decision, as it was said before it actually is‍ a natural consequence of social interaction.

** What is collaborative learning? ** Learning is fundamentally influenced by the context you’re emerged in, therefore every learning experience integrates the new material to what is already known by the learner – which means that the ideas need to be reorganized in order to create something new with the information shared. All you take in from other are incorporated to you life encyclopedia, expanding your intelectual bagagge. Based on the interaction between students and teachers in a cooperative environment, students are free to share their thoughts. In such environment collaborative learning contributes to a better understanding of a subject, and it promotes a larger educational agenda.

Collaborative learning encourages students to acquire an active voice, to become more sensitive when it comes to hearing others, and to develop an active civic life – due to the fact that they learn to make more valid judgments. In order to develop all those skills, some activities are proposed such as seminars, peer teaching, and using virtual tools.
