CLASSROOM DISCOURSE AND DEMOCRACY - SUSAN JEAN ...

This book provides practitioners and scholars with a number of practical tools for studying and
implementing democratic learning processes within schools  and theorizes these tools in
relation to current developmental learning and democratic theory. Three dimensions of knowledge
are framed - foundational  expert  and personal - and the place of each in the construction of
democratic classroom understandings is explored. Based on a two-part analysis of the roles
students played in a number of pedagogically diverse classroom discussions  three different
forms of learning experience are then presented - teacher-led  student-led  and co-led
learning. While all three forms of learning experience are seen as valuable to a fully realized
democratic pedagogy  each form is shown to possess a distinctive set of affordances and
constraints in relation to the many varied challenges involved in fostering children's academic
growth and learning.
