Özet:

 


The
purpose of this study to examine how students transfer their language practices
from science classrooms to math classroom in terms of writing activities. For
this aim, 64 5th grade students, who were familiar with the SWH
approach that supports multimodal writing from their science classrooms,
participated in the study. The students were provided questions to complete a
writing activity in their math classrooms in each semester. Multimodal writing
samples from two consecutive semesters, and scores of Cornell Critical Thinking
(CCT) Test, conducted at the beginning and the end of year, were collected. The
findings suggest that students were able to use the writing and
representational work from science classrooms to math classrooms, and across
time from the first semester to second semester, they improved their math
writings in terms of multimodality, and also, writing scores are also
significantly predictor of final CCT scores. In conclusion, when students have
a rich learning environment, in this context it was the SWH approach, they
learn not only content knowledge but also how language can serve as an
epistemic tool. It is this use of language that, we believe, is being
transferred into new context and is improved by the time.
