Turn-Allocation in Lessons with North American and Puerto Rican Students: A Comparative Study.

McCollum, Pamela

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v20 n2 p133-56 Jun 1989

The turn-allocation procedure for whole-group lessons is analyzed and compared for third grade classrooms in North America and Puerto Rico. Significant differences in classroom participation and discourse have roots in differing social interaction patterns in the two cultures and have implications for Puerto Rican students in mainland classrooms.
