Abstract:
|
High quality professional development activities tend to involve teachers actively engaged in small group discussions. A question remains about what professional development providers (and classroom teachers) should look for as their “students” work in these groups in order to assess the success of these discussions. Discourse analysis is a promising methodology for gathering evidence of productive conversations. This presentation will provide a framework for classifying the discourse of small group talk into increasing levels of learning potential. Findings about the structure of professional development activities that lead to productive discourse will also be discussed.
