Takashi Iba. "Peer Learning via Dialogue with a Pattern Language", in the 7th International Conference on Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs17), Detroit, USA, Sep., 2017
In this presentation, we study the way of peer learning via dialogue that uses a pattern language. Pattern languages is a collection of patterns to describe design knowledge that exists in particular areas of a profession. For the past seven years, we have been holding workshops for dialogue with a pattern language in order to realise peer learning. In this paper, we introduce the dialogue workshop using the Learning Patterns, a pattern language for creative learning, and analyse the data of our survey. The results of 710 valid responses show that 92.4% of participants learned something new about the way of learning, when they read the book of the Learning Patterns; 91.5% reflected that the dialogue was important to learn the ways of learning; 95.7% of participants considered this activity of listening to others significant for various reasons; 90.3 % thought the pattern language was helpful for sharing their experience with peers; 88.3 % were able to imagine how they can actually take actions of the patterns they chose; and 96.5% of participants thought reading the pattern language and participating in the dialogue workshop was enjoyable.

PURPLSOC: The Workshop 2014
» This workshop was a good opportunity for me to meet and talk to many new people.
» The talks in the workshop were a precious experience for seeing the different values that
people have.
» It was a surprise to find out so many people around me had ideas that I never thought
of before. Talking to people who would listen closely to my stories and answer my ques-
tions generously made the workshop very inspiring.
» At first, I felt uneasy talking to new people, but once the workshop started, it was a lot
of fun.
» Honestly, I am very shy and usually don’t speak to anyone I don’t know. However, once
I started to talk with my peers, it was interesting to find out about their thoughts and
values that that were clearly different from mine.
» At first, I felt resistance in speaking with people I didn’t know. However, once the work-
shop started, I realized how much fun it is to learn about different viewpoints that people
have and also to talk to these people with pure interest. This workshop, which provided
me a good experience of talking to people without any hesitation, was truly fun.
[M2] Building Images of Actions from Stories. Another type of comment participants
commonly provided involved how they gained ideas about specific actions they could take.
» By having other people explain with their stories the patterns that I want to adopt, the
rather abstract image of the patterns became more concrete and started to seem fea-
sible.
» Although I felt I understood the patterns in my head, it was a good experience hearing
actual stories from other people, since doing so added reality to the information.
» By hearing stories of other peoples’ experiences, I was able to get a clear image of the
process of how the patterns I want to take on can be actually be pursued. Before that,
I just had a vague goal of using the patterns, but the stories provided me ideas and a
chance to think about what types of specific actions I could take or how I could engage
with my study topics.
With a limited number of patterns, the participants tended to think that only similar stories
would emerge. In contrast, however, numerous different kinds of stories arose from the
same pattern. In addition, the participants discovered that the same pattern could have
various applications, since the workshop asked participants to collect as many stories as
243

possible about their five chosen patterns.
» I was thinking about the amount of experience everyone has. The stories from my peers
made me realize how much more there still is for me to experience and learn.
» I was surprised at how much diversity there is in what people have experienced in their
lives, just in Japan.
» The workshop made me realize one simple fact: all human beings live different lives.
» I found out through the workshop that people could have different types of stories even
though they are based on the same pattern.
» We all had different styles of learning, which we each found to fit us best.
» When I was reading through the Learning Patterns in preparation for the workshop, I
was imagining how I would put the patterns to use. I participated in the workshop thin-
king that other people would have experienced the patterns similarly, but in reality, the
stories I heard were all different, which made the workshop an interesting experience.
Not only did the workshop participants listen to the stories, they were able to share and
solve problems they faced.
» We usually don’t get a chance to talk about how we face learning and what types of
thoughts or experiences we have with it. Therefore, listening to stories of my peers in this
class provided me new perspectives.
» By listening to people sharing their stories, I was able to discover interesting learning
styles from my peers.
» Talking to my peers, I found many who have similar learning styles, goals, and plans to
myself. I also found out that they face the same problems and worries as I do. Talking to
them about these topics, I felt my worries that I had since I started attending this school
being washed away.
» The workshop was a good chance to talk to others about worries we were keeping to
ourselves. Interestingly, since the conversations are not one-way but more about sharing
our thoughts, everyone was accepting of each other.
» Through the workshop, I was able to find a solution to a problem I had been worrying
about since I started college.

» At first, I felt resistance in speaking with people I didn’t know. However, once the work-
shop started, I realized how much fun it is to learn about different viewpoints that people
have and also to talk to these people with pure interest. This workshop, which provided
me a good experience of talking to people without any hesitation, was truly fun.
[M2] Building Images of Actions from Stories. Another type of comment participants
commonly provided involved how they gained ideas about specific actions they could take.
» By having other people explain with their stories the patterns that I want to adopt, the
rather abstract image of the patterns became more concrete and started to seem fea-
sible.
» Although I felt I understood the patterns in my head, it was a good experience hearing
actual stories from other people, since doing so added reality to the information.
» By hearing stories of other peoples’ experiences, I was able to get a clear image of the
process of how the patterns I want to take on can be actually be pursued. Before that,
I just had a vague goal of using the patterns, but the stories provided me ideas and a
chance to think about what types of specific actions I could take or how I could engage
with my study topics.
With a limited number of patterns, the participants tended to think that only similar stories
would emerge. In contrast, however, numerous different kinds of stories arose from the
same pattern. In addition, the participants discovered that the same pattern could have
various applications, since the workshop asked participants to collect as many stories as

possible about their five chosen patterns.
» I was thinking about the amount of experience everyone has. The stories from my peers
made me realize how much more there still is for me to experience and learn.
» I was surprised at how much diversity there is in what people have experienced in their
lives, just in Japan.
» The workshop made me realize one simple fact: all human beings live different lives.
» I found out through the workshop that people could have different types of stories even
though they are based on the same pattern.
» We all had different styles of learning, which we each found to fit us best.
» When I was reading through the Learning Patterns in preparation for the workshop, I
was imagining how I would put the patterns to use. I participated in the workshop thin-
king that other people would have experienced the patterns similarly, but in reality, the
stories I heard were all different, which made the workshop an interesting experience.
Not only did the workshop participants listen to the stories, they were able to share and
solve problems they faced.
» We usually don’t get a chance to talk about how we face learning and what types of
thoughts or experiences we have with it. Therefore, listening to stories of my peers in this
class provided me new perspectives.
» By listening to people sharing their stories, I was able to discover interesting learning
styles from my peers.
» Talking to my peers, I found many who have similar learning styles, goals, and plans to
myself. I also found out that they face the same problems and worries as I do. Talking to
them about these topics, I felt my worries that I had since I started attending this school
being washed away.
» The workshop was a good chance to talk to others about worries we were keeping to
ourselves. Interestingly, since the conversations are not one-way but more about sharing
our thoughts, everyone was accepting of each other.
» Through the workshop, I was able to find a solution to a problem I had been worrying
about since I started college.

This paper presents the Dialogue Workshop as an ap-
plication for using pattern languages as media for cre-
ative dialogue. The workshop provides participants an
opportunity to reflect on their experiences, talk about
them with others, and visualize the future using pat-
tern languages. This paper elucidates the functions of
the Dialogue Workshop. The manifest functions of the
Dialogue Workshop are [M1] Good Opportunity for
Dialogue with Others, [M2] Building Images of Actions
from Stories, and [M3] Rediscovering Self. The latent
functions of the Dialogue Workshops are [L1] Discover-
ing the Pleasure of Dialogue, [L2] Becoming Encoura-
ged toward the Future, and [L3] Discovering Meaning.
These functions are confirmed by feedback from work-
shop participants.

3. Analysis of the Participants’ Feedback of
Dialogue Workshop
Based on my intent, the manifest functions, i.e., the intended results, of the Dialogue Work-
shop are as follows: [M1] Good Opportunity for Dialogue with Others, [M2] Building Images
of Actions from Stories, and [M3] Rediscovering Self. The latent functions, i.e., the unin-
tended results, are as follows: [L1] Discovering the Pleasure of Dialogue, [L2] Becoming
Encouraged toward the Future, and [L3] Discovering Meaning. A functional overview of Dia-
logue Workshops is shown in Figure 5. In what follows, I provide feedback on each function
from workshop participants.
Figure 5: Overview of the functions of the Dialogue Workshop
The following are the examples of feedback from participants of the Dialogue Workshop
with Learning Patterns at Keio University in April 2014. In total, 912 freshmen participated.
The author translated the comments and added emphasis by underlining them.
[M1] Good Opportunity for Dialogue with Others. In the workshop, participants are ins-
tructed to talk only to people they do not know. This rule provides them with a sense of the
extraordinary. Of the many survey comments received, many workshop participants said
that they were able to talk to people they had never talked to before. About 20% of partici-
pants wrote comments similar to the followings.

49. Limitation of the Results Presented in this Paper and Future Work
• The results presented in this paper show subjective responses to
the workshop experience.
• The responses were collected with their names, so they might be
more or less biased.
• In order to confirm the effectiveness of the dialogue with a pattern
language, a wider study with experimental and control groups is
necessary.
