| Abstract: | The video was taken in an initial lesson, prior to the teacher's participation in a professional development programme with T-SEDA (Teacher Scheme for Educational Dialogue Analysis).
The final lesson, following the teacher's participation in the T-SEDA professional development programme, can be accessed on the following link: https://sms.cam.ac.uk/media/3099168 The clip comes from a reception class (4-5 year olds) in England. The teacher asks the following questions to the students: a) if you could only take one thing to a trip to the Arctic, what would it be and b) why it is the most important thing to take? The students discuss this in small groups and then the teacher asks the students to share some of their ideas with the whole class. In the clip, some students share the items they would take to the trip. The teacher reminds the students that they should listen to each other. The teacher invites the students to share the reasons why they would take that item to the trip. He also encourages the students to say when they agree with other students' ideas. Characteristics of dialogue in this clip: - Teacher invites build on ideas - Teacher invites to provide reasons - Teacher encourages to say when the students agree with a peer - Teacher invites the expression of ideas - Teacher explicitly asks students to show some desired behaviours in dialogue - Teacher summarises the responses - Students provide reasons This footage was collected during the T-SEDA (Teacher Scheme for Educational Dialogue Analysis) impact trial funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (Impact Acceleration Account) in 2018-19.
