Analyzing Chat Dialogue with Taghelper Tools
(Catherine Chase)

• Coded chat dialogue from study of collaborative
  problem-solving in Math Talk with and without
  social dialogue agents (Kumar et al., 2007)
• Used TagHelper Tools to create 3 types of coding
  models

Sense of belonging to group ask the teacher to help us vs. ask the teacher to help you
Attributions to problem-solving steps we did it! vs. I figured it out
Positive/negative affect nice! vs. this is annoying

• Created a successful coding model for sense of
  belonging to group, still debugging the others
