Analyse des reformulations dans les interactions orales : l'exemple d'une séquence portant sur l'écosystème en CM2

Abstract

This contribution will analyze rephrasing in a CM2 class during a sequence dealing with the concept of ecosystem. Rephrasing perform specific functions according to their type and when they occur, whether initiated by the teacher and / or students. We are also interested in the distance between the rephrased and the source utterances specifying cases of immediate or deferred rephrasing which Gülich and Kotschi (1987) called complex structures of rephrasing. These collected data are used to relate knowledge construction to appropriation of scientific concepts through two main types of rephrasing: hetero-rephrasing (rephrasing of a speaker's utterance) and self-rephrasing (rephrasing of its own utterance).
