ABSTRACT

Working with scientists can be an effective way of engaging high school students in science inquiry. The communication gap between scientists and students, however, can be a barrier to teaching and learning. This qualitative study introduced cogenerative dialogues (cogens), which, due to their emancipatory and democratic nature, appear to be a useful tool to improve communication between scientists and students. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of addressivity in dialogism, this study investigated the effective strategies used by an exemplary mediator. Ten effective strategies are identified and illustrated with examples. The findings of this study are a useful reference for educators to train dialogue mediators to enhance learning in different educational settings.

摘要

与科学家合作是让高中生参与科学探究的有效方式。然而，科学家和学生之间的沟通鸿沟可能成为教学和学习的障碍。这项定性研究引入了共同生成对话(cogens)，由于其解放和民主的性质，它似乎是改善科学家和学生之间交流的有用工具。借鉴巴赫金的概念addressivity的对话性，本研究调查了示范调解员使用的有效策略。确定并举例说明了十种有效的策略。本研究的结果为教育工作者培训对话调解员以加强在不同教育环境中的学习提供了有用的参考。
