Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- High teacher mediation is associated with more children talking and higher frequency of both elaborated and restricted talk — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Teacher mediation interacts with SES: the SES gap in elaborated utterances appears only in the low-mediating classroom — related
- Elaborated coding was associated with higher reading scores among the observed children — related
