Video-recorded classroom lessons (<em>n</em> = 115 in both grades) of Grade 2 primary school teachers (<em>n</em> = 50) and Grade 9 subject teachers (<em>n</em> = 36) were analysed in terms of the amount, duration, and quality of episodes of educational dialogue. Educational dialogues were found to be typically longer in Grade 9 than in Grade 2. In terms of the quality of educational dialogue, teacher-initiated dialogue of moderate quality occurred more in Grade 9 classrooms, whereas teacher-initiated dialogue of high quality was observed more in Grade 2 classrooms. In Grade 2, both the amount and quality of dialogue varied across subjects, whereas in Grade 9, variation concerning specific subjects was scant. The findings contribute to prior research by suggesting differences in several aspects of educational dialogue between early primary and secondary school. These variations should be considered when supporting students' learning and participation through educational dialogue in different developmental phases and in different subjects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46850,"journal":{"name":"Learning Culture and Social Interaction","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 100799"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210656124000072/pdfft?md5=cfc152d5ff38f16ee663a333f35c524c&pid=1-s2.0-S2210656124000072-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140188116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We believe that it is important to examine affects in older age because of their centrality in the lifecourse; but how to account for them? We propose the notion of <em>thematic engagement</em> to highlight the role of affects in older persons' learning and development, and to designate transversal and pluri-thematic interests across activities and domains of knowledge, which enable us to show that some topics, domains or interests become more important than others for a given person across time. We base our claims on a longitudinal study of older people engaging in different activities at home, in their neighbourhood, as well as in a daycare centre for older people, and provide three dialogical exemplars.

Our aim is to show the transformations taking place within this SL by analysing the dialogicality contained in the field notes written by a participating psychology student, Nina (pseudonym), as an illustration of the complex dynamics of learning and identity change we encounter. By analysing Nina's reflections while acting in this SL project, we attempt to delve into these processes of transformation from the perspective of an agentive participant.

We used descriptive statistics to summarize message/chat content in terms of participant categories and topic. 23 % of delegates posted in the chat. However, to go beyond these dimensions, we used conversation analytic methods to identify the actions accomplished in messages and their interconnectedness. We developed a coding scheme to report this analysis across the complete dataset. We found that messages mostly comprised positive assessments (“Wonderful talk!”) and appreciations (“Thank you!”). ‘Second’ messages were more common than initiations or ‘first’ messages, indicating extensive engagement between participants. Few messages received no response. Delegates also formulated what speakers said to develop ‘learning moments’ in the chat. Overall, we argue that a richer and more precise understanding of participation and engagement in video conferencing can be achieved by analysing actual participation and its content, rather than relying only on post-hoc reports and surveys.

Thereafter, the themes were analysed with theoretical concepts from the theory of practice architectures (sayings, doings, and relatings), and interpreted in terms of characteristic arrangements (cultural-discursive, material-economic, and social-political). Themes identified in the student interviews were: 1) Vocational knowing in animal caregiving 2) Mathematics as vocational knowing 3) Mathematics as part of vocational language, and 4) Mathematics as a foundation subject. Sayings were also related to doings, because of the accessibility and character of data. It was evident that students recognized mathematics as an aspect of vocational knowing, but there was also a tension between this mathematics and for the school/as a foundation subject. Relatings represented the recurrent contexts of school, animal facilities, workplace learning but also laws and regulations for contemporary animal care.

I draw on data from a two-year ethnographic case study of an RPP to ask the following question: How does onto-epistemological difference impact RPP actors' boundary-crossing interactions and encounters? Using critical discourse and conversation analysis, I examine participants' talk-in-interaction in a focus group discussion to better understand how learning occurs and knowledge is constructed between RPP actors – three teachers and a university researcher, in this case. Ultimately, I show that the group's norms of interaction compelled participants to corral each other's talk towards agreement, constructing the impression of shared meaning-making and consensus even in its absence.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":46850,"journal":{"name":"Learning Culture and Social Interaction","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 100802"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139654150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
