Abstract

This paper describes research based on observational data of the communication of primary school students working in small groups to solve a problem. Using Mercer's model of three distinct modes of thinking (disputational, cumulative, and exploratory talk), we analyzed and interpreted discourse data of children from third through sixth grades. In our results, we found that third grade children often discuss using disputational talk. Further, we see the germination of exploratory talk, which helps groups to solve problems, manifest in fourth graders' communication. Fifth and sixth grade students were found to hold their discussions using cumulative talk.
