58.050 - Teacher Discussions of Problems of Practice: Conceptualizing and Investigating "Productive" Pedagogical Discourse
Sun, April 30, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 221 CSession Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
While most scholars agree that discussions of problems of practice in school-based professional communities are potentially beneficial, we lack a shared understanding of what are the key ingredients that make such talk productive. Likewise, we lack a common language to describe such talk, and a common set of research tools to capture, analyze and eventually measure it. This interactive poster session will bring together scholars from Canada, Israel, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States to look critically at the different ways of theorizing productive talk, and of the concomitant methodologies for studying it. Papers include analyses of representations of practices in teacher talk, leadership and facilitation, methodological issues around coding and measurement, and particular models and practices.
