The aim of this project is to investigate the potential of the concept of dialogic teaching in the milieu of secondary schools. The proposed project is directly related to a previous project, Communication in the Classroom, which focused on the description of parameters of educational communication. The findings of this former project were not in accordance with the theoretical concept of dialogic teaching, which defines educational communication as a tool beneficial for the stimulation of pupils’ understanding and thinking. The main aim of the proposed project is to find out when and under which conditions a change can occur in the communication between teacher and pupils. Hence, (i) we will situate the theoretical concept of dialogic teaching in a Czech scholarly milieu; (ii) in the process of participatory action research, we will develop the theoretical concept in the form of situated dialogue which can be implemented in direct teaching; (iii) by experimentation, we will document how such a change in communication setting influences communication structures and pupil performance.
