The DeMAND Coding Scheme: A Common Language for Representing and Analyzing Student Discourse

Abstract

We propose that a set of five dimensions forms a foundation underlying a number of prevalent theoretical perspectives on learning. We show how student contributions to instructional dialogue can be reliably annotated with these dimensions. Finally, we provide preliminary validation evidence for our coding scheme and illustrate the potential value of such an approach to analyzing student behavior in tutorial dialogue.
