Abstract
This paper presents a discourse analysis of contributions to an online interactive discussion forum of a graduate-level education course on the topic of Discourse in Classrooms. The purpose of the analysis is twofold. First, I examine the content of postings over the first one third of the 13-week course to describe participants' emerging perspectives on: (1) the role of classroom and school discourse in shaping student identity, (2) the role of discourse in reflecting and transforming schools as institutions, and (3) the relationships between school discourse and administrative structures and values. Second, I present examples of how the discussion topics evolved, and how points of view began to shift over time.
