Helen Rothschild Ewald and David L. Wallace. Exploring Agency in Classroom Discourse or, Should David Have Told His Story?

Ewald, Helen Rothschild and David L. Wallace. "Exploring Agency in Classroom Discourse or, Should David Have Told His Story?" CCC 45.3 (1994): 342-368.

Abstract:

The authors state a tension exists in the composition field between those who advocate student-centered pedagogy those who advocate the importance of knowledge transfer from teacher to student. They examine an excerpt from classroom discourse and the interpretations of the teacher and four students of the discourse. Claiming that both teacher and students are constructed agents in the classroom, the authors state that both construct meaning even as they are constructed by classroom discourse and its power dynamics.
