The dialogue frame is an innovative, pedagogical support tool, inspired by the well known writing frame. The use of the dialogue frame and speech-to-text technology challenges traditional boundaries between written and oral expression. The project investigates whether the dialogue frame can function as a bridge and support in the demanding process of transferring thought and conversational content into individual, structurally written text in a non-narrative genre. The project is a classroom study conducted in three 8th grade classes.
Background
Many students demonstrate creativity, knowledge, and reflection in conversational contexts. At the same time, students may struggle to formulate their meaningful content comprehensibly and structurally in a written text. Improved speech recognition technology makes it possible to investigate this technology's didactic potential in developing students' oral and written skills.
