Narrative analysis of the Grade 10 Visual Arts view (19 students, 292 notes over four weeks) identified six chitchat occurrences, unique among the three classes. The authors note these patterns Bare noteworthy as they may also reflect the warm classroom climate and relationships in this classroom community.
"This was the only class to engage in social (chitchat) discourse (six occurrences) — seemingly off-task conversations in which students teased each other, introduced themselves, or recalled shared experiences."
