Special Issue on ‘Classroom Discourse Analysis’ in Research in Science Education (RISE)
20 May 2019
RISE is calling for papers to a special issue focusing on the methodology of using discourse analysis in science classrooms. Scholars are invited to contribute articles on one of the following nature:
- A review article discussing the current state of understanding or application of discourse analytical methods to examine the teaching and learning of science
- A theoretical/methodological article presenting new perspectives, frameworks or techniques related to the analysis of science classroom discourse
- An empirical research article applying discourse analytical methods to study science teaching and learning, with a focused and in-depth discussion of the methods used and its analytical affordances
- A comparative discussion article that evaluates two or more discourse analytical methods, preferably in the analysis of the same data set
Diverse intellectual perspectives and a broad interpretation of “classroom” setting that involves science learning in any age group are welcome. The analysis of language and discourse is not limited to a linguistic mode (e.g., speech, written texts), but may include or focus on multimodal representations.
