Modeling Classroom Discourse: Do Models of Predicting Dialogic Instruction Properties Generalize across Populations?

چکیده
It has previously been shown that the effective use of dialogic instruction has a positive impact on student achievement. In this study, we investigate whether linguistic features used to classify properties of classroom discourse generalize across different subpopulations. Results showed that the machine learned models perform equally well when trained and validated on different subpopulations. Correlation-Based Feature Subset evaluation revealed an inclusion relationship between different subsets in terms of their most predictive features.

متن کاملDomain Independent Assessment of Dialogic Properties of Classroom Discourse
We present a machine learning model that uses particular attributes of individual questions asked by teachers and students to predict two properties of classroom discourse that have previously been linked to improved student achievement. These properties, uptake and authenticity, have previously been studied by using trained observers to live-code classroom instruction. As a first-step in autom...
متن کاملPromoting Dialogic Talk in a Speaking Classroom: Rethinking Bakhtinian Pedagogy
This study sought to promote EFL learners' speaking ability drawing on Bakhtin’s notion of dialogic discourse pattern (DDP) and to explore their perceptions towards implementing dialogic teaching (DT) in a speaking classroom. To this end, from the population of students in different language institutes, 47 students were selected based on a purposive sampling method. The data were collected at t...
متن کاملDiscourse Analysis: The problematic analysis of unstructured/unfacilitated group discussions
An increasing number of researchers are studying discourse in order to understand classroom instruction. Based on social linguistics and activity theory, researchers have derived frameworks for breaking down discussion and identifying its structure and composition. These frameworks can be fairly easily utilized to analyze class instruction, because it is typically highly facilitated and/or well...
متن کاملClassifying Q&A from Teachers' Speech: Moving Toward an Automated System of Dialogic Analysis
Question-answer (Q&A) is fundamental for dialogic instruction, an important pedagogical technique based on the free exchange of ideas and open-ended discussion. Automatically detecting Q&A is key to providing teachers with feedback on appropriate use of dialogic instructional strategies. In line with this, this paper studies the possibility of automatically detecting segments of Q&A in live cla...
