Student-centered learning environments are designed to support collaboration and exploration, directing learning into a collective experience. This case study explores a group of three students, who were highly vocal and determined to understand the activities. They showed attempts to engage in socio-metacognitive patterns, not always achieving it. For example, students explicitly communicated their need to work collaboratively, while another requested to work individually. This qualitative research project collected data from a physics undergraduate course for future K-8 teachers. We center the study on two students who were recorded during their classroom activities, participated in semi-structured follow-up interviews, and submitted reflections regarding their classroom experiences while collaborating in the same group. We analyze students' views of collaboration and reflections to understand their personal epistemology. We present how students' failed attempts at socio-metacognitive patterns can be understood through the differing perspectives of knowing they hold while collaborating as a group.
