Session Type: Symposium
Productive disciplinary engagement is dependent on the use of a dialectic approach to classroom discourse. Yet undertaking such approaches demands a substantial transformation of traditional pedagogy that is overly reliant on IRE dialogue. This session presents four approaches to identifying the features of effective dialogic teaching, drawing from the domains of mathematics, language arts and science. Classifying and identifying the salient features of good interactive classroom discussions that support student learning is essential to: (a) providing a professional language for teacher education and learning; and (b) for evaluating the quality of the discussion. The symposium will offer a valuable synthesis of work to date conducted nationally and internationally.
