Program
In this seminar, taking place on October 24th, 4:00 PM–5:00 PM CET, Sara Hennessy will be presenting: Developing and adapting coding schemes for classroom dialogue. Presentation file for download.
Abstract:
This talk addresses some of the methodological issues and challenges arising in the growing research area of coding the features of classroom discourse considered productive for learning. It introduces a fine-grained (33-category) Cam-UNAM Scheme for Educational Dialogue Analysis (SEDA) and then describes how and why it was condensed and adapted for new research purposes. These include the (12-category) Cambridge Dialogue Analysis Scheme (CDAS) used in a recent large-scale project conducted in primary schools in England to relate dialogic teaching to student learning outcomes, and the Toolkit for Systematic Educational Dialogue Analysis (T-SEDA). The latter includes a set of coding and rating tools and templates, based around a (10-category) version for practitioners at all educational levels (used in 15 countries and translated into 8 languages to date). The most recent tool is the (12-category) Tech-SEDA for capturing dialogue around shared artefacts in technology-mediated educational settings.
