Biografie w rozmowie. Narracyjno-dyskursywne podejście badawcze
W artykule pokazujemy, jaki wkład może wnieść syntetyczne podejście narracyjno-dyskursywne do zrozumienia biograficznej pracy dokonującej się podczas wywiadu badawczego. Skupiamy się na pracy biograficznej jako części trwającego, interaktywnego procesu, w wyniku którego przyjmowane są tożsamości. Jest to szczególnie ważne dla ludzi, którzy, na przykład, wkraczają na ścieżkę nowej kariery i mogą być postrzegani jako „nowicjusze” w tym sensie, że k…
Combining sociocultural discourse analysis and multimodal analysis to explore teachers' and pupils' meaning making
This paper explores a common educational dilemma, namely that of how to resource meaningful teaching and learning experiences, and the research challenge of how to represent the multimodal complexity of pedagogic intentions and instantiations. We share the sociocultural view of talk as a central tool in meaning making, aligned with attention to how teaching and learning conversations are mediated by communicative cues and interactions orchestrate…
A discursive approach to the analysis of epistemic cognition
Contemporary Identities of Creativity and Creative Work
Creative workers have been celebrated internationally for their flexibility in new labour markets centred on culture, creativity and, most recently, innovation. This book draws on research with novice and established workers in a range of specializations in order to explore the meanings, aspirations and practical difficulties associated with a creative identification. It investigates the difficulties and attractions of creative work as a personal…

A methodological approach to exploring the rhythm of classroom discourse in a cumulative frame in science teaching
Interthinking
Through using spoken language, people are able to think creatively and productively together. This ability to ‘interthink’ is an important product of our evolutionary history that is just as important for our survival today. Many kinds of work activity depend on the success of groups or teams finding joint solutions to problems. Creative achievement is rarely the product of solitary endeavour, but of people working within a collective enterprise.…

Children's memories for events relating to treatment for eye cancer
Treatment for retinoblastoma frequently involves removal of at least one eye in the first 5 years. Variation in age of treatment leads to the assumption that children's later verbal accessibility of early traumatic memories may vary, with some children having less opportunity to make sense of their condition. Video recordings were made of 17 children who had undergone enucleation either before 24 months ( n = 8) or after 24 months ( n = 9) involv…
Art Work or Money
The identity projects of novice creative practitioners must take account of the economy of art work. It has been suggested ( McRobbie, 2002a ) that in the contemporary cultural industries in the UK, a new understanding of the connection between creative work and money has replaced past 'anti-commercial' notions. This claim is investigated through a narrative-discursive analysis of interviews from a longitudinal study with current and recent Art a…
Dialogue and the Development of Children's Thinking
This book draws on extensive research to provide a ground-breaking new account of the relationship between dialogue and children’s learning development. It closely relates the research findings to real-life classrooms, so that it is of practical value to teachers and students concerned that their children are offered the best possible learning opportunities. The authors provide a clear, accessible and well-illustrated case for the importance of d…
Developmental Psychology in Action
Developmental Psychology in Action looks at how psychologists contribute to the development and well-being of children in practical ways. The role of psychologists and psychological theory is considered with respect to specific topics which focus on child development in the context of social, educational and clinical issues. The chapters are authored by active researchers and practitioners in each field. Each chapter provides an introduction to t…
Biographies in talk
This paper demonstrates the contribution a synthetic narrativediscursive approach can make to understanding biographical work within a research interview. Our focus is on biographical work as part of the ongoing, interactive process through which identities are taken up. This is of particular interest for people who, for example, are entering a new career and can be seen as “novices” in the sense that they are constructing and claiming a new iden…
Children's personal and social development
Introduction. 1. Parenting. 2. Disturbed and Disturbing Behaviour. 3. Siblings and Peer Relationships. 4. Self. 5. Gender identity and the Development of Gender Roles. 6. Young Consumers. 7. National Identities. 8. Integrative Conclusion
Understanding Computer Game Cultures a Situated Approach
About the book: As yet there has been relatively little published on women's activities in relation to new digital technologies. Virtual Gender brings together theoretical perspectives from feminist theory, the sociology of technology and gender studies with well designed empirical studies to throw new light on the impact of ICTs on contemporary social life. \nA line-up of authors from around the world looks at the gender and technology issues re…
Influences on the effectiveness of peer interaction
Studies of peer interaction among children have generally shown that this experience aids performance, or at the very least does not result in poorer performance in relation to control conditions. Furthermore, working with a more able partner has been found to be a particularly effective form of peer interaction. In contrast, a model proposed by Karmiloff‐Smith suggests that at certain phases of cognitive development children may ignore feedback …
