| EGALITARIAN DIALOGUE AND INSTRUMENTAL DIMENSION. TWO PRINCIPLES OF DIALOGIC LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM | |

| Dialogic conceptualizations of learning have rapidly arisen in the last two decades. Building upon Vygotsky’s socio-cultural psychology, these theories emphasize that people make meaning in interaction with others, where language is the main mediational tool. One of those accounts is the theory of “dialogic learning” (Flecha, 2000). This article explores two of the principles of dialogic learning: egalitarian dialogue and instrumental dimension, through the meanings that a group of elementary school children gave to learning in interactive groups, a practice of dialogic learning in the classroom. The data revealed the meanings that students gave to those two principles of dialogic learning and how each of those principles gets manifested in interactive groups. Regarding egalitarian dialogue, children perceived that participants in interactive groups hold validity claims, engage in communicative action, and care about the effects and context of the interactions. As for the principle of instrumental dimension, the students pointed out multiple ways in which dialogue act as a tool to learn more, for example, facilitating the identification of gaps and errors in one’s reasoning and fostering the development of communicative abilities. | |
