26.025 - Dialogic Perspectives on Classroom Assessment of Writing

Fri, April 17, 8:15 to 9:45am, Sheraton, Floor: Second Level, Missouri

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Teacher-mediated classroom assessment is increasingly recognized as a tool for improving student learning. This session presents a series of papers that investigate how discursive interactions between teachers and students provide a context for the assessment of writing in the disciplinary context of the English classroom. Drawn from two different research studies, the papers in this symposium employ discourse analysis and other qualitative methods to explore how teachers mediate students’ understanding of and ability to compose effective literary and argumentative writing through dialogue with students. This session is likely to appeal to audiences interested in classroom assessment in writing instruction as well as those interested in the role of discourse in writing instruction.
