Agreement and Disagreement in Teachers’ Talk: Facilitative Design of Deliberation in Norwegian Initial Education
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article investigates the roles of the terms agreement and disagreement in teachers’ talk in Norwegian Grades 1-4 classrooms. Through an exploration of what teachers said and did when they used these terms, five different themes were identified in the teachers’ talk. The teachers tended to use the terms in relation to the process of discussion, the outcome of these discussions, and nuancing the idea of the nature of this outcome; as a function in conversation; and how agreement and disagreement are valuable in different ways. The key finding across these themes and patterns was that the lessons tended to be oriented toward consensus. This is problematized in relation to exploration and elaboration of perspectives, which is crucial for deliberation.
