Subclaims¶

q2 i? In analyzed episodes, abrupt behavioral shifts from the blue cluster (leaning over papers, quiet recitation) to the green cluster (sitting up, eye contact, loud original speech, prolific gesture) coincide with shifts in the substance of reasoning from worksheet completion to discussing physics ideas. → Rachel E. Scherr and David Hammer 2007

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Qualitative episode analysis of group A working on the Newton's third law tutorial. Behavior and speech content jointly support the interpretation that students "shift from framing their activity as completing the worksheet to framing it as discussing the ideas."

"The changes in behavioral cluster from blue to green correspond with changes in the substance of the conversation. These two types of evidence together support our identification of the students' epistemological framing: They shift from framing their activity as completing the worksheet to framing it as discussing the ideas."
