linguistic awareness and articulation in log entries and conversation. Three
forms for formative evaluation have been discerned, self response, peer
response, and teacher response. I summarized the teacher’s mediating function
into prepare, narrate, deliver, and deepen, which testifies to the complex and
demanding profession that is teaching. A teacher must be able to switch between
a large number of roles, abilities. It is desirable that a teacher meets a pupil as
both I-You and I-It (Buber, 1923/2006).
In the carnival’s classroom - discussion
The socio-cultural frame that the classroom signified emerged from the clown
work, a place for dialogue that made learning possible. Hesitation's-in-betweenspace
was found in the carnival’s classroom. The place for art, the uncertain,
testing, the not-quite-finished, was allowed. In hesitation's-in-between-space –
in Derrida’s la différance – Utopia could assert itself. The difference between
that which is and that which can be is elucidated (Derrida, 2006; Dolan, 2008;
Kolle et al., 2010).
Exactly as when the Fool resided in the border “between life and art” (Bakhtin,
1965/2007: 19), the pupils resided in a borderland. They worked under the
auspices of the art form clown. They used the clown’s knowledge and technique
together with experiences from their own lived lives. They were inspired by their
classmates’ and teacher’s experiences. They shaped their own clown. Figure 2
shows the relationship of The clown and the carnival, who having stepped into
the classroom, become The carnival in the classroom. What then happens in the
meeting in the classroom is that pupils learn about themselves, the other, and the
world. A carnivalistic meeting occurs in the classroom. The play that plays us
but the rules must be followed, as Gadamer (1960) writes.
