Intermingling and Bumpiness: Exploring Meaning Making in the Discourse of a Science Classroom.
Varelas, Maria; Pineda, Edgar
Research in Science Education, v29 n1 p25-49 1999
Describes the conversational rhythm in an elementary class in order to understand when and how teacher and students succeed in developing shared understandings, and when and how they encounter difficulties. Uses the two contrasting concepts of "intermingling" and "bumpiness" to catch the phenomenological aspects of time in the science classroom. Contains 23 references. (Author/WRM)
