This article reports a case study in a rural South African school on promoting critical-analytic thinking through teacher discourse moves and pedagogical principles. The study investigated the use of teacher discourse moves and pedagogical principles as a component of the Quality Talk model. The Qualitative research methodology and a case study design that entailed the use of interviews, classroom observations and document analysis were used. Data was gathered from an English teacher and 52 Grade 8 students. The data was coded using Quality Talk model indicators and analysed thematically. The findings revealed evidence that teacher training and support in the use of a range of teacher discourse moves and pedagogical principles could enhance students’ development of critical-analytic thinking. It is therefore recommended that teacher training in the use of pedagogical approaches that enhance the development of critical-analytic thinking should be incorporated in professional development programmes.

AbstractThis article draws on material from a case study of a South African school. The abolishment of corporal punishment in 1996 necessitates a shift towards alternative discipline methods. It is argued that discipline in school context would be more successful if learners were given a voice in the process. A mixed method approach was employed to gather data by means of questionnaires from 40 learners. Results showed that although mechanisms were introduced to improve children's rights in South African schools, their participation in the process of school discipline is still limited. Recommendations were formulated in line with the findings.
