Group work in class - mixed ability groups working together with each other, with teacher  intervening when answers may not be going in the right direction- example of scaffolding between students. 

Group presentation or project that requires each member to have their own role. 

Working as a team in this workshop, uses joint attention when filing out the quiz.]]> 2018-04-19 15:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rapidzz_al3x/rvv3otooh254/wish/253487955 Definitions rapidzz_al3x https://padlet.com/rapidzz_al3x/rvv3otooh254/wish/253494864
·Guided participation – a process in which more knowledgeable individuals organise activities in ways that allow less knowledgeable people to learn (physical help) 
·Scaffolding - A process in which more competent people provide a temporary framework that supports children’s thinking at a higher level than children could manage on their own (instructions) 
·Intramental – thoughts you have yourself 
·Intermental – thoughts between people 
·Group sense – the feeling shared endeavour (collaborating vs. just sitting together)

It depends on students establishing and maintaining intersubjectivity: a shared conception of the task / problem

Balance authoritative talk with dialogue: conversation in which the ideas of various participants are heard, taken up and jointly considered 

Use more interactional strategies in the classroom:
o  Some “open” questions to explore students’ ideas
o  Encourage students to put knowledge into their own words
o  Press students to elaborate and justify their views
o  Allow students turns to express their thoughts and reveal their misunderstandings

This means that the student is able to explore their thoughts openly.
By asking open ended questions, the teacher engages the student, and alternates ho the student came to the conclusion they came too, and correct it.
This contradicts authoritative teaching, as this involves asking closed questions and doesn't aid the student in correcting themselves, it just causes them to seek a different answer.]]> 2018-04-19 15:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rapidzz_al3x/rvv3otooh254/wish/253497183 Applications in Education https://padlet.com/rapidzz_al3x/rvv3otooh254/wish/253499213 1. Critical examination and evaluation of classroom dialogue and incorporation into teacher training
2. Teaching the teachers different strategies such as intervention and balance between authoritative and dialogic 
3. Teach the students about the value of talking]]> 2018-04-19 15:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rapidzz_al3x/rvv3otooh254/wish/253499213
