Using Words about Thinking: Content Analyses of Chemistry Teachers' Classroom Talk.
Wilson, Janice M.
International Journal of Science Education, v21 n10 p1067-84 Oct 1999
Summarizes content analyses of verbatim transcripts of secondary chemistry lessons. Finds that the use of words with a metacognitive and metalinguistic function was generally limited in extent and simple and colloquial in expression and that the language of the enacted curriculum did not match the terminology of the official curriculum document. Contains 49 references. (Author/WRM)
