Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Classroom conversation | | English term or phrase: move up/down | From a book on classroom research:
"The arrangement of pupils into sets is reviewed at the end of each term and this ritual always influences work rate and conversation:
Girl: You 'eard about *moving up* yet, sir?
Teacher: No, I've been asked to make three recommendations to go up and down. Mr. XX will make the decision. [chorus of inquiries]
Girl: Shut up you -you're thick. If you move, it'll be down. I hope I **move up** - we do no work in 'ere. 'Alf of 'em can't even write (looking at the boys). (Cheers from boys)
The low statuts of the set is always a factor in the pupils' perceptions of their ability and their attitude to work."
I guess it refers to changing work teams, but am not sure.
I would appreciate any suggestions/explanations.
Thanks! |

| | pasar a un nivel más alto/bajo | Explanation:
Creo que puede ser esto... coincido en que es un texto bastante TRICKY, pero como docente, opino que se trata de pasar a los alumnos a un nivel superior/inferior. No usarìa estos ùltimos términos porque es una conversación con niños.
Veamos qué opinan los demàs colegas.
Saludos!

| Grading comment Muchas gracias a todos. Utilizaré este registro que es más coloquial para una conversación con niños, como dijo Gabriela.
