Wegerif, Rupert; Mercer, Neil; Rojas-Drummond, Sylvia
Language and Education, v13 n2 p133-50 1999
Examines two sets of classrooms in Mexican preschools over a period of a year to see why one set of classes improved significantly in independent problem solving when compared with children in matching classes. Differences in two sets of data were explored with a method for investigating classroom talk that combines qualitative interpretation with computer-based analysis. (Author/VWL)
