Thinking and Learning in Classroom Discourse.
Hartman, Maria
Volta Review, v98 n3 p93-106 Sum 1996
Transcripts of the classroom conversations of seven profoundly deaf 13- and 14-year-old students and their teachers were analyzed, using Vygotsky's theories on the social nature of learning and the role of mediation. Results of the study found that conversation builds ideas, facilitates comprehension of text, encourages cognitive development, and fosters growth in expressive language abilities. (Author/LC)
