Herder, Anke; Berenst, Jan; de Glopper, Kees; Koole, Tom – Classroom Discourse, 2022
This paper discusses how primary school students, who are writing together in the context of inquiry learning, explicitly orient to knowing of oneself and others within the peer group. Using Conversation Analysis, we disclose the conversational functions of assertions holding 'I know', 'you know' and 'we know'. First, students position themselves…
