Abstract

Following the analytic perspective of ethnomethodology (Garfinkel, 1967; Button, 1991), ‘discovery’ in school science labs will be appreciated as an interactional achievement. In other words, rather than characterize ‘what got discovered’ using of tests of scientific knowledge, I will look closely at students’ and teachers’ practical actions in school science labs, recorded in real time, in order to develop some initial characterizations of the methodical work in which those students and teachers are engaged. This is to be done without irony (Garfinkel, 1967); that is without setting our professional analytic description of the interactional work of school science labs in opposition to professional educational accounts.
