Abstract
In her paper "Using Words about Thinking: Content Analyses of Chemistry Teachers' Classroom Talk" (International Journal of Science Education 1999, 21 (10), 1067-1084), Janice M. Wilson presents a descriptive study of the frequency and context of words related to thinking used in the classroom discourses of five secondary chemistry instructors. Results of the study indicate that word use was limited in extent, was simple or colloquial in expression, and may not help students develop the vocabulary necessary for "talking science".
