Review Quotes:
"Kelly and Green have developed insights and research methods to examine classroom discourse, and the book structure, organized around eight chapters illustrating specific methods, gives it an innovative nature, while the rigour and depth of the contributions anticipate that it will soon become a classic."
--From the Foreword by María Pilar Jiménez-Aleixandre, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain
"The text provides a unique opportunity to understand the combination of research lenses, tools, and decision-making when using large-scale video and qualitative data sets. The contributions include rigorous grounding in sociocultural traditions coupled with cutting edge of considerations of contemporary science and engineering learning settings."
-- Heidi Carlone, Hooks Distinguished Professor of STEM Education, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro
