摘要:

笑声在日常生活中随处可闻,在教育语境中却地位尴尬。教育工作者期待课堂上有笑声,但意料之外的集体性笑声往往被视为学生未参与学习的信号。要深入理解这一课堂常见现象的价值,有必要对其展开实时、微观、多模态的分析。从笑声作为社会行为的理论视角出发,对初中科学课堂所进行的多模态话语分析呈现了笑声丰富的互动意蕴。通过这样的分析可以看出,研究课堂上的笑声,能够深入探索知识权威关系的形成、边界与身份的塑造、社会话语和历史文化对课堂的影响等议题,对于教材编写者、教师、研究者等都有重要价值。

Abstract:

Laughter is everywhere in our daily life, yet it holds an ambiguous position in the educational context. While we expect laughter in the classroom, unexpected shared laughter is often viewed as a signal of disengagement from learning. This article conducts a multimodal discourse analysis of three episodes of laughter in a middle school science classroom from the theoretical perspective of laughter as a social action. It reveals the rich interactional sense-making of laughter and suggests that analyzing laughter contributes to a deeper exploration of issues such as the formation of knowledge authority, construction of social boundaries and identities, and the influence of social discourses and historical-cultural contexts on the classroom. The significance for textbook designers, teachers, and researchers is discussed.

Key words: laughter, classroom interaction, multimodal discourse analysis, identity, sociocultural
