| Abstract | The study reported in this paper attempted to find out what evidences of active learning were displayed in the "ready," i.e., prompt and appropriate responses called for in classroom oral communication. Such an inquiry leads toward the claim that the learning process itself is a suitable arena for evaluation, and thus that the evaluation of written and oral communication practices provide acceptable evidence of disciplinary learning. To test this assertion, a college composition class was instructed to discuss the "Japanese idea of beauty," and written transcripts were made of the oral discussions. Students were also given reading assignments on the subject and were required to write short papers. Two oral discussions and 14 written papers were examined. From an analysis of the transcripts and papers, six categories, each representing a certain kind of learning process, emerged: (1) synthesizing outside material; (2) linking ideas together; (3) discovering contradictions; (4) suggesting qualifications; (5) internalizing; and (6) tentativeness. Analysis of these categories indicates that important intellectual processes defined as "readiness" may be observed in oral classroom discussion, and may be seen as representations of active learning. If encouraging synthesis of ideas is an educational objective, evidence of it is present in oral interaction. If the aim is to promote contradiction and challenge, tentativeness and exploration, internalization and commitment, educators can look to class discussions for signs of success. (SG) |
