'''Jointly constructed explanation''': a statement or set of statements, spread across two (or more) speakers that makes explicit the causal or relational connection between concepts. Here is an example of a jointly constructed explanation in the domain of kinematics (from Hausmann, Chi, & Roy, 2004):

<p><tt>
{| border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" style="text-align: left;"
! width="50" | Jill:
| Force acting on block B, is different from force acting on block A.
|-
! width="50" | Sara:
| Ok. Because their mass, is different.
|-
! width="50" | Jill:
| Yeah. Because-yeah.
|-
|}
</tt></p>

Jill presents a proposition (i.e., the forces are different), and Sara supplies the justification (i.e., ''because'' the masses are different).
