| Abstract: | In the "Trends in International Mathematics and Science Survey" (TIMSS), Malta has participated for the first time in 2007 with Form 3 students and ranked 30th in science achievement amongst 49 participating countries. The survey has also showed that 52% of the Maltese students are at or below the low benchmark [5]. This data is cause for concern and it could be that one of the underpinning causes of students' low achievement in science might be linked to classroom talk. In fact, there is evidence from various studies that withdrawal from science is related to the dominant discourse practices taking place in science classrooms [8]. |
