Developing the theory of formative assessment (2009, background): “Figure 2 below serves to illustrate the sequence of the argument. The teacher addresses to the learner a task, perhaps in the form of a question, the learner responds to this, and the teacher then composes a further intervention, in the light of that response. This basic structure has been described”

CLASSROOM TALK FOR RIGOROUS READING COMPREHENSION INSTRUCTION (2005, background): “A number of studies have proved that a discussion is an effective way of socializing intelligence for promoting learning (Applebee et al., 2003; Beck et al., 1997; Cazden, 2001; Erickson, 1996; Palinscar, 2003).”
Collaborative reasoning: a dialogic approach to group discussions (2009, background): “Studies researching such connections (see Applebee, Langer, Nystrand, & Gamoran, 2003 ; Chinn, O'Donnell, & Jinks, 2000 ; Kuhn, Shaw, & Felton, 1997 ) provide important insights into the particular discourse features that mediate student cognitive development.”
