What larger lessons do you carry away from this work? Presumably you
have cases of equal knowledge assessed individually and unequal power
excercised in the interations. You give a case where the less knowledgable
person is more interpersonally powerful and yet comes out the winner
in terms of knowledge acquisition. I assume the opposite pattern can
hold: the more knowledgable person dominates and learns more.
I ask because we presumably want to find ways to design activities that
regularly promote learning by both less and more knowledgable and we
have this idea that joint activity can facilitate such acquisition. But
what, so to speak, might be some "design principles"?
