abstract |
Language use is widely regarded as an important indicator of high quality learning
and reasoning ability. Yet this masks an irony: language is fundamentally a social,
collaborative tool, yet despite the widespread recognition of its importance in relation
to learning, the role of dialogue is undervalued in learning contexts. In this chapter
we argue that to see language as only a tool for individual thought presents a limited
view of its transformative power. This power, we argue, lies in the ways in which
dialogue is used to interthink – that is, to think together, to build knowledge co-constructively
through our shared understanding. Technology can play an important role in resourcing
thinking through the provision of information, and support to provide a space to think
alone. It can moreover provide significant support for learners to build shared representations
together, particularly through giving learners access to a wealth of ‘given’ inter-related
texts which resource the co-construction of knowledge. |
