Abstract
This thesis focuses on teacher conduct during whole-class discussions around curricular texts in primary school history and geography lessons. It characterises teachers’ different ways of taking on a more facilitating role and inviting students to take the floor for longer periods of time. By scrutinizing the teachers’ conduct during whole-class discussions, identifying the student contributions that precede this conduct and analysing the interactional consequences of the teachers’ actions, we show how teachers facilitate and influence the discussion among students with both verbal and bodily conduct. These insights provide valuable knowledge on how to hold a discussion in the classroom in which students talk and respond to each other, reason together and provide each other with alternative perspectives on a matter.
