My teaching and research focus on teaching-learning relationships, disciplinary knowledge as socially constructed, and ethnographic research and discourse studies of the patterns of everyday life in classroom.
Questions that I explore in my research and in my classes include:
• How do children gain access to school knowledge?
• What counts as literacy and learning in school settings?
• How is disciplinary knowledge socially constructed?
• What opportunities for learning are constructed in
classrooms, and who has access to these opportunities?
• How does the theory you select shape your research
questions, the methods you use, and the claims that you
can make about a phenomenon?
• How can educational reforms be evaluated using a
dynamic and over time process?
As a founding member of the Santa Barbara Classroom Discourse Group, a collaborative community of teacher ethnographers, student ethnographers and university-based ethnographers, I explore questions guided by theories on the social construction of knowledge. Our goal is to identify principles of practices that teachers (and others) use to support equity of access for all students.
My research spans 6 decades and is designed to explore education from the lived experiences of participants and how decisions inside and beyond the classroom door support and/or constrain equity of access to learning within and across disciplines and levels of schooling. The Interactional Ethnographic research logic-of-analysis and inquiry that colleagues have I have developed is designed to support researchers in stepping back from the known and then engaging in transdisciplinary ways of entering, engaging with and learning from those whose lifeworlds I have entered or seek to engage with to learn ways of knowing, being and doing language, literacy and discipline-based processes and practices of the social group.
Educational Background
I have been teaching for more than 4 decades across levels of schooling (K-20). I received my M.A. in Educational Psychology from California State University, Northridge (1970), where I learned about child and language development. I received my Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, where I explored the relationships between teaching and learning, literacy and knowledge construction. My recent research focuses on how classroom practices support access to students across academic disciplines in classrooms and in virtual communities.

In the first chapter of this volume, Wyatt-Smith and Elkins argue that 'it is timely to review how different theoretical frameworks and methodologies provide different lenses through which to study students' learning needs'. By viewing different theoretical frameworks and methodologies as potentially complementary, Wyatt-Smith, Elkins and other authors in this volume move discussions beyond debates of which method is best, to a discussion of what different theoretical traditions contribute towards research on students' learning needs1. In this chapter, we seek to contribute towards this argument by demonstrating how multiple theoretical perspectives and methods can be included in a single research study as well as in programs of research that seek to explore common phenomena from different theoretical and methodological points of view (for example Green

The question of the relationship between ethnography, discourse and education has been an area of an ongoing development for the last four decades. This paper addresses a series of questions proposed by the editors of this special issue of Calestrocópio Journal. These questions led us to a reexamination of key arguments by Shirley B. Heath, Brian V. Street and Kathryn M. Anderson-Levitt, who have influenced how ethnography can inform epistemological approaches to studying language in use in everyday settings in and out of school. In addition, we revisited the distinction between ethnography in and of education, proposed by Green and Bloome (1997), in the light of a recent reformulation focused on Anthropology in Education, of Education and for Education. This article focuses on the logic of inquiry central to understanding ethnography as epistemology. Keywords: Ethnography in and out of school; logic of inquiry; discourse; education. Resumo: A discussão sobre a relação entre etnografia, discurso e educação tem sido, nas últimas quatro décadas, uma área em desenvolvimento. Este artigo aborda um conjunto de questões que foram propostas pelos editores deste número especial da Revista Caletroscópio, que nos levou a uma reavaliação dos argumentos principais feitos por Shirley B. Heath, Brian V. Street e Kathryn M. Anderson-Levitt, que têm contribuído para a compreensão de como a etnografia embasa abordagens epistemológicas para o estudo da linguagem em uso em contextos dentro e fora da escola. Além disso, revisitamos essa distinção entre etnografia dentro e fora da escola, como proposta por Green e Bloome (1997), a partir de uma reformulação recente com foco na Antropologia em Educação, da Educação e pela Educação. Este artigo baseia-se na importância da lógica de investigação para o entendimento da etnografia como epistemologia. Palavras-chave: Etnografia dentro e fora da escola; lógica de investigação; discurso; educação. When I (Judith L. Green) received the invitation from Adail Sebastião Rodrigues-Júnior and Clézio Roberto Gonçalves, the Editors-in-chief of this journal, to share my view of ethnography in and of education, I saw this as a unique opportunity to step back and to (re)think where my understanding of ethnographic research in and of education that David Bloome and I proposed in 1997 is over two decades later. In framing this as an interview, the editors provided a series of questions to guide my understanding of their goals for this interview.

Analysis of the discourse demands across the school year within a recurrent event, " Circle Time, " is presented to show how 3-and 4-year-old students learned to be conversationally appropriate partners within a group setting, how the teacher's interactional patterns shifted as students learned to participate in socially and academically appropriate ways within this event, and how participation in the subevents of Circle Time (Milling, Transition, Singing, Talking, and Dismissal) placed differing social and communicative demands on both teacher and students. The overtime analysis of one Circle Time subevent, Talking, is presented to illustrate how 3-and 4-year-old students, in their first school experience, construct with their teachers a schooled discourse repertoire for participating in large group discussions, and how the discourse demands on the teacher shifted across time in the Talking subevent as well as across all subevents.

Since publication of the first edition, literacy researchers have drawn increasingly on sociocultural and sociolingustic theories of literacy learning to examine literacy-learning practices within literacy events and contexts. This second edition examines the relationships between current disciplinary and theoretical perspectives associated with these social and cultural perspectives shaping literacy research.
Leading literacy researchers describe how they apply particular disciplinary perspectives t their research, making explicit how those perspectives shape their research. Chapters in the first section examine the application of psychological and social science theories of research design related to issues of the validity of descriptive/qualitative versus experimental/quantitative research methods. Those in the second section examine the application of sociocultural/Activity Theory perspectives to examine literacy learning in the context of community and institutional settings. The third section draws on current linguistic and discourse analysis to examine language use and interactions in literacy events and contexts. A final section applies critical literacy and literary perspectives to issues of research on literacy and literature instruction.
These application of different disciplinary perspectives highlight how differences in theoretical perspectives influence not only how one conducts literacy research, but also the kinds of literacy practices one values in schools.

The rapid transformations of social, economic, and cultural worlds of learners in school and nonschool settings that we are facing today are reminiscent of the transformations that accompanied the industrial revolution at the turn of the 20th century. Like those at the turn of the 20th century, education researchers and their constituencies (e.g., students, teachers, community members, and policy makers) are faced with a series of questions: How are we to respond to the educational challenges of this new millennium? How do we engage with new forms of learning, the influence of new media on children’s lives, changing community dynamics, and many long-standing and tenacious educational and social problems? And how can research and theory constructively and critically engage with the demands and imperatives of government educational and social policies?
In this book, the editors bring together an intergenerational group of researchers who represent both new and long-standing perspectives and debates on the shapes, definitions, and processes of learning in the context of global cultural and economic change.

Over the last four decades, researchers at the intersection of applied linguistics and education have developed a rich and varied set of research perspectives to examine what is interactionally accomplished in and through discourse in classrooms. These epistemological perspectives (ways of knowing) draw on conceptual and theoretical advances in anthropology, applied linguistics, education, linguistics, psychology, and sociology. The diversity of current epistemological approaches, and the range of issues that it is possible to examine through each, challenge those seeking to understand how to construct a multi‐faceted and multi‐ layered understanding of the complex nature of what is interactionally accomplished in and through classroom discourse. In this chapter, we propose an ethnographic perspective, an orienting logic of inquiry, (Green 1983; Green and Bloome 1997), that is designed to support readers‐as‐analysts in:

This review presents theoretical underpinnings supporting microethnographic-discourse analytic (ME/DA) approaches to studying educational phenomena. The review is presented in two parts. Part 1 provides an analytic review of two seminal reviews of literature that frame theoretical and methodological developments of microethnography and functions language in classrooms with diverse learners. Part 2 presents two telling case studies that illustrate the logic-of-inquiry of (ME/DA) approaches. These telling case studies make transparent how theoretical considerations of cultural perspectives on education inform decisions regarding research methodology. Telling Case Study 1 makes transparent the logic-of-inquiry undertaken to illustrate how microanalyses of discourse and action among participants in a physics class provided an empirical grounding for identifying how different groups undertook a common task. This case study shows how ethnographically informed discourse analyses formed a f...

Building on Gunter MEY's (2000, para. 2) argument that "reviews should help to promote additional perspectives … and to open up new scientific discourses," in this essay review of Carol GRBICH's (2007) "Qualitative Data Analysis," we present an approach to reading texts ethnographically that enabled us to uncover how the choices GRBICH makes in positioning readers and in choosing particular ways of representing select qualitative approaches inscribes particular worlds and possibilities for qualitative research. In her text GRBICH argues that authors position readers through the ways in which they report and write about their work. In this review essay we use this argument as a basis to uncover how GRBICH positions readers, researchers, those researched, different qualitative traditions and perspectives as well as herself as an author of the text, to lay a foundation for engaging readers of FQS in a hermeneutic dialogue (KELLY, 2006) about the authoring an...

This article provides a historical perspective on developments underlying the relationship of teacher-based action research and curriculum inquiry. The exploration of the relationship begins with a historical journey tracing the roots and routes of different approaches to teacher-based or practitioner research across the past 100-plus years and moves on to factors related to their development. The historical analysis will show that the evolutionary path (Noffke, 1997) of teacher-based action research, curriculum inquiry, and practitioner inquiry is not an unbroken chain of developments, but rather a set of routes taken by researchers, educators, and practitioners at particular periods of time in response to particular intellectual, social, political, and educational conditions. Reviews over the past six decades have shown that the approaches identified are known by various names, including action inquiry, action research, collaborative actionresearch,emancipatoryactionresearch,ethnographic action research, narrative inquiry, participatory research, practitioner inquiry,practitioner research,teacher research, and teacher action research, among others (e.g., CochranSmith and Donnell, 2006; McKernan, 1987; Noffke, 1997; Wann, 1953; Zeichner and Noffke, 2001). The question framing this article, therefore, is what counts as teacherbased action research and curriculum inquiry across different periods of education research. An ethnographic perspective guided this historical analysis (Green et al., 2003) in order to identify the roots and routes of different approaches to practitioner inquiry, action research, and curriculum inquiry. This perspective framed the following questions, which are designed to make visible what gave rise to the approach, and what each was seeking to accomplish: Who are the practitioners? With whom are they engaged? When and where does the inquiry take place? What types of inquiry are undertaken? What purposes does the research serve for practitioners (and others)? What knowledge is generated? How is the knowledge used in practice? How is it shared with others? What processes are central to research that can be defined within the overarching categories of action and practitioner research? These questions unearthed a common goal across the varied approaches: ‘‘the study of a social situation with a view to improving the quality of action within it’’ (Elliott, 1991: 69). These questions also made visible that those developing the forms of action research often had one or more purposes: to develop knowledge for practice by practitioners (e.g., Winter, 1987) and/or to develop knowledge for informed social action by members of a community (Carr and Kemmis, 1986; Collier, 1945). Furthermore, in exploring the historical development of teacher-based action research and its intersection with curriculum inquiry, the goal was to identify the social, political, and educational conditions that led researchers and practitioners, at different periods of time, to take up this common goal uncommonly.

Discute aspectos do letramento escolar numa turma de primeiro ciclo, em que o livro didático é elemento central. Foram gravadas 37 horas de pesquisa em vídeo. A análise enfoca os processos interacionais constituídos por alunos e professora, em torno de um livro didático de Língua Portuguesa. Observou-se que a professora subverte a proposta do livro, apropriando-se desse material conforme sua própria prática. Na análise foram utilizados conceitos da teoria de Bakhtin e da etnografia interacional, evidenciando como se constituem os processos de letramento. Particularmente, a análise dos aspectos discursivos das interações mostra que o discurso na sala de aula tem funções diferentes para os diversos participantes; alunos e professora assumem papéis sociais que marcam uma assimetria na relação de ensino.

For the remainder of Volume 23, the Critical Issues section of JLR will be devoted to a discussion of literacy and educational policy. A survey of our editorial advisory board indicated that this topic was one of the critical issues facing the field. Likewise, a survey of the entire membership of the NRC, JLR's sponsoring organization, indicated that members hold strong feelings about whether the organization should “become more proactive on policy issues” (NRC Newsletter, Sept., 1995, p. 10). To further a dialogue about literacy and educational policy, we began by inviting three literacy researchers with diverse perspectives to address the topic of literacy and educational policy (Judith Green, who writes here with her colleague Carol Dixon, P. David Pearson, and Sharon Quint). We asked them to comment on the ideas they believe to be most crucial for policymakers to know about literacy. We also invited Donna Alvermann to read and to react to the three responses. Those familiar ...

Ao contrário, entende-se que letramento é um processo dinâmico em que o significado de ação letrada é continuamente (re) construído, localmente, por participantes de diferentes grupos sociais. Para corroborar tal argumento, examinamos como uma perspectiva compartilhada de letramento é estabelecida por participantes no dia-a-dia de uma sala de aula. Orientados pela ...

Examining the nature of digital texts in the developing contexts of problem-based learning (PBL) constitutes an expansion in research on dialogic approaches to learning in technology-rich, inquiry-based designs. This study adopts Interactional Ethnography as an orienting theory to frame the purposeful tracing of the unfolding knowledge co-construction processes across a medical PBL cycle. We investigate how these processes are interactionally accomplished in and across intertextually tied events where devised, generated, accessed, curated and appropriated digital texts are connected in webs of meaning. The concepts of multimodality and intertextuality from literacy studies provide explanatory theories to investigate how digital texts in the developing dialogic space are consequential the learning process across the phases of a PBL cycle. We propose the concept of dialogic intervisualizing to theorize these new text-discourse relations in inquiry-based learning.

This paper seeks to (re)think what constitutes records within an ethnographic archive by making visible the challenges that our external IE team faced as we entered the records archived by the internal IE team that we were invited to support in the documentation and analysis of a developing Instructional Development project. Although both teams shared a common conceptual logic-of-inquiry – Interactional Ethnography – It became evident that there were limits to certainty (Green & Baker 2007) that led us to (re)examine why some particular records were archived and what they were records of.

Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar e caracterizar contextos de aprendizagem favoráveis à implementação de interações contingentes em um fórum de discussão de um Curso de Formação Inicial de Tutores a Distância. A abordagem Etnográfica Interacional que norteou esta pesquisa estabelece quatro princípios operativos que guiam as decisões e ações do etnógrafo no campo de pesquisa. Tais princípios promoveram uma compreensão mais ampla sobre os contextos de aprendizagem no fórum. Os resultados do estudo apontam, principalmente: a fragilidade da representação da interação na ferramenta fórum investigada e o surgimento de uma nova unidade de análise para o estudo de interações contingentes: o fórum como um todo.

Problem-based learning (PBL) designs are addressing the demands and potentials of an information-saturated era where accessing inquiry resources and new information is reconfiguring tutor-facilitated dialogues. Unclear is how incorporation of CSCL tools and the rich digital multimodal resources they collaboratively access and generate are re-shaping the traditional problem-based cycle of inquiry and intersubjective sense-making. This study in higher education adopts Interactional Ethnography (IE) as a logic-of-inquiry to examine how a group of medical undergraduate students and their facilitator (n = 12) collaborated to access, review, appropriate and devise multimodal digital and visual texts within and across one problem cycle (three face-to-face tutorials and self-directed learning). Drawing on concepts of ‘multimodality’ and ‘intervisuality’ from literacy theory, we extend theoretical understandings of how multimodal texts become actors within a developing PBL event, not just objects of study or cultural tools. Through this multi-focal approach, we make visible how what occurs at one point in time with these texts in the developing dialogic space is consequential for what students can and do undertake in subsequent engagements with such texts in and across one bounded cycle of learning activities. Arising from this analysis, we propose the concept of dialogic intervisualizing to characterize the dynamic interplay between and among information problem-solving processes, textual negotiations and purposeful, facilitated dialogue for deep knowledge co-construction within and across collaborative, computer supported learning activity in an inquiry cycle.
