Sorry, I understood it as passing to written language from oral language. It seems to be some kind of coding. I did not do such a job before. Regards Ulvi 2012/11/6 Derek Patton <derekpatton19@gmail.com> > Dear Friends, > I am looking for someone who can code transcripts of conversations in a > Preschool setting. This is for my PhD dissertation on Sustained Shared > Thinking which is a special sort of ZPD where a teacher has constructed a > classroom culture of thinking spaces through dialogue and the children's > minds are engaged in thinking. This is a paying job and requires probably > 50 > - 100 hours of work and needs to be done by Christmas. There are training > documents and practice transcripts where the intercoder can find out if > they > have reached the level of ability to proceed into the main work. Research > assistant level of pay rate, negotiable. > > Preschool dialogue influencing children's thinking > > The dialogues to be coded are 5 different preschool teachers interacting > with 3 - 6 children in 3 activities of story book reading, a > writing/drawing > exercise, and one selected by the teacher. The main construct under > investigation is Sustained Shared Thinking (SST) which is defined as a > series of turns where child thinking is valued, visible, and actively > promoted by the teacher while engaged in: a) scaffolding or extending ideas > or concepts; b) discussing or exploring events or experiences; c) modelling > language or behaviour; d) using language or ideas playfully or creatively. > The teacher is usually challenging or expanding children's thinking through > questions, acknowledgements, hints, or examples. Coding the SSTs includes > who started the episode and who leads it (child or teacher), as well as how > long the episode goes in terms of turns taken. The entire dialogue is also > coded for a variety of types of questions and acknowledgments, for example > different kinds of open, closed and statement questions. A second and > deeper > level of dialogue analysis includes coding for Gricean Maxims(Paul Grice) > and blended spaces (Fauconnier & Turner). There are separate training and > practice documents for both first and second level coding, so that either > can be undertaken separately. The transcripts represent about 100 minutes > of > dialogue. > > SST - (Siraj-Blatchford, Sylva, Muttock, Gilden, & Bell, 2002) > Visible thinking - (Ritchhart & Perkins, 2005) > Gricean Maxims - (Grice, 2002/1967, 2008/1978) > Blending space - (Fauconnier & Turner, 1996, 2002) > > Thanks for any help also in finding someone who matches this interest of > mine. > Contact me directly at derekpatton19@gmail.com cheers derek > > __________________________________________ > _____ > xmca mailing list > xmca@weber.ucsd.edu > http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca > __________________________________________ _____ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
