‘whole of group’ work (which may include the teacher, but requires no one to be workingindependently). [Note within the group it is possible for some students to be working togetheror interacting with the teacher while others are working individually].Session 2 (see Figure 8.15) is chronologically the next Studio session. Here the change togroup interaction is noticable. Of the total logged (n = 66) 27% involved the teacher, andless than 8% was individual. The bulk of interactions involved members of the group withor without the teacher exploring and questioning the understanding they had constructed inthe previous session (over 68% of interactions are classed as ‘whole of group’).Session 3 (see Figure 8.17) occurred some time later, and is based on students coming togrips with a new area of discipline knowledge. Here the bulk of interactions were focussed onstudents questioning (16%) and discussing (19%) with the teacher, and the teacher explaining(17%). Of the total interactions logged (n = 116) 51% involved the teacher, 23% wereindividual and 47% was whole of group work. Table 8.7 provides a summary of the raw dataacross the three sessions observed.Figure 8.16: Interaction schedule ENG302 session 3Figure 8.17: Interaction breakdown ENG302 session 3370
