Nine-category coding scheme for dialogic behaviors within micro-failure episodes

Evidence · no claims cited

Description

The article developed and validated a coding scheme for student behaviors during micro-failure episodes in collaborative dialog. As reported, "We identified nine categories of behaviors that occurred within failure episodes in the dialogs: questioning and explaining with a partner, explaining after teacher prompts, arguing to consensus, initiating teacher help, making a quick choice without consensus, arguing without consensus, quick arguing with a dominating partner, ignoring contributions and moving forward, and going off task." Two raters independently coded 20 percent of episodes with sufficient interrater agreement (κ = 0.72, P < 0.01), and the scheme underpinned the Functional/Dysfunctional grouping and all subsequent analyses.
