Classroom Interaction Mediated by Gender and Technology: The Language Laboratory Course

Bu çalışma sınıf içi iletişimin cinsiyet ve teknoloji bağlamında irdelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri etnografik sayılabilecek bir gözlem yöntemiyle iki öğretmenin katılımcı olmayan bir gözlemci tarafından Dil Laboratuvarı 1 dersinde izlenmesi ve sürecin not tutulması yoluyla kayıt altına alınması ile elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları sınıf içi iletişim desenlerinin belirli bir oranda cinsiyete dayalı olduğu ve bu iletişim ağının önceki çalışmalarda gösterilmiş bulunan tüm sınıf iletişimine benzediğini göstermektedir. Buna karşın, bu ikisi arasındaki fark öğretmenin kontrol edici ve onaylayıcı rollerinin önemli bir ölçüde farklı olduğu yönündedir.

This present study investigates classroom interaction with reference to gender and technology. The study data were gathered through partial ethnography by a non-participant observer; two sessions of the course Language Laboratory 1 were carefully observed, and notes were taken with a focus on the nature of interactions. Results of the study show that the interaction patterns are gender-related only to some extent. Also, the interaction pattern in the laboratory classes is similar to, but not the same as, the whole-class discussion patterns proposed in earlier literature. However, the main difference between the two is that the teacher‟s role in controlling and confirming the volunteer‟s contribution to the discussion is markedly visible.
