Description
The purpose of this meeting is to enable researchers with a special interest in the Protocol for Language Arts Teaching Observation (PLATO) category of Classroom Discourse to get together and discuss different perspectives on this particular element of teaching. Focus areas of the discussion include the differences between subject areas, special attention to different qualities of classroom discourse, or the possibility of comparing across countries, depending on the participants’ areas of interest. Towards the end of the meeting, we will also talk about the possibilities of different types of collaboration.

Report
At this PLATO-CD meeting, 12 participants from all the five countries involved in QUINT, participated and shared their approaches to working with classroom discourse. Most of the participants were analyzing the LISA data with a special focus on the PLATO element of Classroom Discourse, but from very different perspectives. All participants contributed to an interesting and nuanced discussion of the different ways in which we as QUINT researchers can contribute to the research field of classroom conversation. We decided to create a PLATO-CD Forum in which we can share ideas and knowledge in relation to the investigation of classroom discourse. We will meet again to continue the discussion in spring 2022.
Practical
This seminar is aimed at the researchers within the QUINT Network
