Abstract:Whereas science is fundamentally a result of a dialogic debate, the authoritative approach has been conceived of as a fundamental part of school science. Dialogic interactions encompass the mutual appreciation of different ideas manifested in teacher supportiveness toward students and, in authoritative interactions, the focus is more on the science's or teacher's point of view.Whereas dialogic and authoritative interactions have been viewed as oppositional in recent educational research, authoritative interact… Show more
“…In making their own representations, pupils are productively limited in their reasoning by having to focus on key aspects of the problem, choose appropriate tools, and apply background knowledge relevant to the problem. Furthermore, research that puts forward problems in terms of learning, Furtak and Shavelson in 2009 have presented preliminary evidence that instead of consisting of one dominant communicative approach, a mixture of communicative approaches would further facilitate pupil learning (Lehesvuori et al, 2019).…”
Science learning should involve the use of active representation as a medium of communication between teachers and students. This is because representation becomes a medium of communication in the processing of science concepts provided by teachers, and the abilities produced by students themselves during science learning. This study aims to explain class discourse in science learning at SMPN 1 Jetis, based on the focus of discussing the relationship between knowledge representation, and communication patterns. The instruments in this study are questionnaires, and representation ability tests. The data obtained is tabulated in Microsoft Excel, then it is analyzed descriptively. The results showed that science learning at SMPN 1 Jetis was mediated with three types of existing representations, namely active, iconic, and symbolic alternately and simultaneously. The representation ability of students of SMPN 1 Jetis during the learning of the concept of material pressure, reached a score of 81.25 in the category of excellent representation ability; and 2) the shift of the three patterns of combination of representations that exist in science learning at SMPN 1 Jetis directs learning to dialogical, and authoritative communication patterns.

“…These results show that although dialogicity can be essential, especially when seeking information about learners' thinking, authoritativeness (focus on knowledge) carries more weight when heading for purposeful closures via cumulativity. In terms of communicative approaches (Mortimer & Scott, 2003), there is a wave motion between dialogicity and authoritativeness, and teachers should be sensitive about when to open and close discussions (Lehesvuori et al, 2013(Lehesvuori et al, , 2019. Balancing the different communicative approaches is apparent in the ESRU cycle and its variations in the following ways:…”

“…The latter can take place in the teacher's longer lecturing turns, extending beyond the use of learners' ideas toward more lesson-goal-oriented instruction. The challenge, however, is to balance authoritativeness and dialogicity (Lehesvuori et al, 2019;Scott et al, 2006). Within informal formative assessment, this could mean, for example, that the teacher balances between collecting and presenting information and between neutral recognition and evaluation of learner responses.…”
In this study, educational dialogue is explored through informal formative assessment and dialogicity. We enhance the understanding of informal formative assessment and dialogicity by considering their relationship. Even though the interconnection of informal formative assessment and dialogicity is acknowledged, it has not been explicitly examined in research on educational dialogue. The data consists of video-stimulated joint reflections between mathematics student teachers and a teacher educator. The reflections were part of a teacher education program integrated in a mathematics pedagogic course. Conversational analysis was conducted to detect interactional patterns and indicators that emerged from the data. The findings show how the presence and absence of single informal formative assessment moves, such as recognizing and using learners’ ideas, contribute differently to dialogicity and educational dialogue.
“…In our opinion, one of the solutions to the problem is the correct organization of the teacher's speech, so that it is not only understandable to the student, but that it serves as an example for the student to organize his speech. "Teachers can achieve good learning outcomes by carefully asking questions in front of the class, organizing class discussions, and summarizing post-class reflections" (Xie, 2021, p. 347), also "dialogical interaction includes mutual evaluation of various ideas, manifested in the teacher's support for students" (Lehesvuori et al, 2019(Lehesvuori et al, , p. 2557.…”
