Elementary School Journal, v100 n3 p229-52 Jan 2000

Examined self-assessment as a means of teacher learning that develops teachers' understanding and use of discourse strategies to support instructional conversation. Found that teachers' analyses did not grow more precise, but interpretations of talk revealed growing ability to treat discourse as an object of knowledge. Explored features of the activity as a learning structure. (Author/SD)
