Open University Press Meaning Making in Secondary Science Classrooms
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the talk of science classrooms and in particular on the ways in which the different kinds of interactions between teachers and students contribute to meaning making and learning. Central to the text is a new analytical framework for characterising the key features of the talk of school science classrooms. This framework is based on sociocultural principles and links the work of theorists such as Vygotsky and Bakhtin to the day-to-day interactions of contemporary science classrooms. *presents a framework, based on sociocultural theory, for analysing the language of teaching and learning interactions in science classrooms*provides detailed examples and illustrations of insights gained from applying the framework to real science lessons in Brazil and the UK.*demonstrates how these ways of thinking about classroom talk can be drawn upon to inform the professional development of science teachers.*offers an innovative research methodology, based on Table of ContentsForeword by James V.
