Authority, Power, and Morality in Classroom Discourse.
Buzzelli, Cary; Johnston, Bill
Teaching and Teacher Education, v17 n8 p873-84 Nov 2001
Examines the complex relationships among authority, power, and morality in classroom discourse, illustrating this concept by analyzing an extract from a third-grade writer's chair activity, focusing on two dilemmas of authority the teacher faced in this activity. The paper suggests that these dilemmas can best be conceptualized in terms of Bernstein's notions of regulative and instructional discourse. (SM)
