26.026 - Expanding Frameworks for Talk in Science Classrooms

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

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

There is a pressing need to support teachers to engage students in knowledge-construction processes such as analyzing data and developing explanations. One strand of research has focused on how teachers employ “talk moves” to frame activity, position students with the authority to construct knowledge, and encourage the collaboration central to scientists’ work (e.g., Michaels et al., 2010). The papers in this symposium build from the literature on talk moves by linking frameworks that analyze talk moves to other aspects of the learning environment, including supports necessary for collaboration, the disciplinary goals that talk moves are used in the service of, and students’ perception of autonomy and support.
