Cognitive and Interactional Aspects of Correction in Tutoring
(1988)
Abstract
Abstract (continued) The present paper explores the interactional and cognitive processes involved in correction and tutor assistance in a set of tutoring sessions. As we will see in sections 2 and 3 these two facets--interactional and cognitive--of correction and assistance are really flip sides of one another: tutors and students interact in a way that is cognitively beneficial to the student and the cognitive processes needed are in turn at least partially determined by the interaction between tutor and student. In a sense, interaction and cognitive live together in an ecological system and thus have "evolved" such that their characteristics are intertwined.
