Research Aims 1. Using Conversation Analysis (CA)
understand:
◦ The Process of anatomy laboratory teaching-
learning at one Australian institutional context
◦ The Variety of Semiotics used in that process
2. Lived anatomy laboratory learning
experiences of novice students

Fundamentals of Conversation Analysis (CA)
Talk-in-interaction is (Hutchby and Wooffitt, 2008):
orderly and participants orient to that
orderliness (Sacks et al, 1974)
co-constructed and locally managed by
participants
recipient designed to negotiate activities
(e.g. requests, proposals, complaints)
embodied practice (Goodwin, 2000; Hutchins 1995)
◦ utterances + other semiotics (e.g. objects,
gestures, and body orientation

Letting the Data Speak…
CA Approach:
Uncover the interactional organizations of
social interactions by asking:
◦ ‘What actions are being produced?’
◦ ‘Why that now?’
Produce and analyze transcripts of
naturally-occurring talk
◦ “Unmotivated Looking” (Sacks, 1995)
◦ Next-turn proof procedure Uses show how participants understand and orient to the actions
produced in the previous turn. 4

Implications
Laboratory teacher training
◦ better understanding of the socio-cultural
process of knowledge construction
VS
knowledge transmission
Improved understanding of reifying a
curriculum
◦ Process involves the display and negotiation of
membership categories and epistemics

Significance / Contribution Generate Empirical Evidence of the Anatomy Learning
Process
First longitudinal qualitative study to track the construction of anatomical knowledge in a social interactional setting
Provides an alternative lens and paradigm to understand anatomy teaching and learning
Theorization
◦ Understanding learning as an interactional phenomenon involving people and objects
Application ◦ Develop training programs to improve effectiveness of teaching and learning
◦ selection, timing and deployment of anatomy resources to support student learning

Basic CA Transcription Symbols
Symbol Description
Brackets [ ] Indicates utterances produced by two or more speakers that overlap
Equal sign =
Indicates no break or gap and may be used to break up an through-
produced talk by one speaker for convenience of transcription
Timed silence
(1.8)
Intervals of silences (i.e. pauses and gaps in and between speakers’ turns
at talk respectively) are measured in tens of seconds, and represented by
numbers enclosed in parentheses.
Micropause (.) A timed pause of less than 0.2 seconds.
Colon(s) :
indicates sustained enunciation of a syllable. Longer enunciation can be
marked using two or more colons.
Greater
than/Less than
signs
> <
< >
Portions of an utterance delivered at a noticeably quicker (> <) or slower (<
>) pace than surrounding talk.
Degree Signs ° ° Marks speech produced softly or at a lower volume.
Capitalization HEY Represents speech delivered more loudly than surrounding talk.
Unerscored text hey Underscoring indicates stress on a word, syllable or sound.
Underscored
colons ::
Indicates intonational contours, and it indicates that the sound at the point
of the colon is 'punched up'. So it gives a 'down-to-up' contour. 19

Key Analytical Questions
How do novice anatomy learners and
instructors transition to manage the co-
construction of learning in the anatomy
laboratory?
How do participants transition into the
task of anatomy learning?
What are the patterns in who has the
right to speak and how do they get it?
