Enhancing Student Understanding Through Dialogic Diaries

Explore how dialogic diaries can develop student comprehension and trainee practices in sustainable development and education. See how 25 GCSE students' perspectives evolved through dialogic diaries. Analyze different dimensions, like metacommunication and ideation, to improve the learning process. Address challenges, such as time constraints and ethical considerations. Engage with trainees through online blogs on sustainability, enhancing reflection and practical application. Utilize dialogic diaries as a research tool for trainees to deepen their understanding of student learning.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Using dialogic diaries to develop student understanding and trainee practice Nicola Walshe University of Cambridge

  2. Exploring and developing children’s understandings of sustainable development with dialogic diaries • The study • 25 year 10 students undertaking Edexcel B GCSE • 11-16 Village College in Cambridgeshire • Methods • Dialogic diaries • Interviews

  3. Exploring and developing children’s understandings of sustainable development with dialogic diaries • Data analysis • Analysis of dialogue (after Daniel et al., 2005) • Analysis of general levels of understanding (using revision of Bloom) • Analysis of understandings of sustainability

  4. Results • The metacommunicative dimension (developing the dialogue) • The ideational dimension (developing students’ understanding of the substantive topic, sustainable development) • The interpersonal dimension (developing relationships within the classroom)

  5. “It’s like a sort of a personal connection between the pupil and the teacher ... you can recap what's going on in the lesson and see things from different perspectives. Having that connection with a teacher ... actually gets me more involved with school in general.” Tyler

  6. Issues • Time • For students to write the diaries? • For me to respond? • For the diary-writing process to continue? • Writing • Writing vsdrawing • Blogosphere? • The ethics of ‘diary-writing’ • Ideological process (pupils need to be convinced of teacher/researcher’s motives • Political process (questions orthodox ‘teacher-pupil’ roles)

  7. Working with trainees (1):Online Blogs on Sustainability Stage 1: Reflection after Faculty Session Stage 2: Pair Blog Responses Stage 3: School-based activity Stage 4: Reflection on School-based activity Stage 5: Pair Blog Responses Reflection(s) before Faculty session Greater number of school-based activities (at a range of scales) Increased response by me

  8. Working with trainees (2):Dialogic diaries as a research method for trainees • PGCE trainee: used dialogic diaries to explore student learning for assignment. • MEd student: using dialogic diaries to track Year 9 students' understanding of distant place (China).
