Abstract: | This study examined two complementary designs of metadiscourse to foster collective responsibility for sustained, progressive inquiry in two comparable Grade 5/6 classrooms that investigated astronomy. Class A's metadiscourse focused on reviewing student questions to formulate deepening goals. Class B's focused on co-monitoring disciplinary key concepts in readings that suggested possible areas for deeper discourse. Analyses of classroom videos and online discourse suggest the positive impact of such metadiscourse on sustained knowledge building, along with specific conditions required. |
