7 These larger scale Focus and Task are phases of the learning activity or activity phases. Analysis of pedagogic activity proceeds from both above and below. i.e. from the functions of lesson activities in the curriculum genre, down to the functions of learning cycle phases. The analysis can be applied to any pedagogic practice to describe its structuring, functions and effectiveness. It can also be used to design effective pedagogic practice. Informed by social semiotic models of genre and register theory, its purpose is an integrated description of the whole of pedagogic practice. to describe how knowledge is presented, accumulated and evaluated through pedagogic activity; how pedagogic activity is organised as cycles of learning tasks, that are prepared, focused, evaluated and elaborated by teachers; how pedagogic modalities are deployed as sources of meanings; and how pedagogic relations are enacted in patterns of participation and evaluation in teacher/learner exchanges. Once patterns of discourse in each component have been described, along with relations between components, the next step is to interpret the patterns of pedagogic register that they realise. For example, how inclusive are pedagogic relations, how effective are pedagogic activities for groups of learners, how well are pedagogic modalities deployed to this end, what knowledge structures are construed, and how are they evaluated? This level of interpretation may enable evaluation of pedagogic practices (Mc Naught in prep), and design of more effective practices (Kartika). It may enable articulation with other models of pedagogic practice, such as Bernstein’s theory of pedagogic discourse, or Maton’s legitimation code theory. It is capable of describing exhaustively how the categories of any pedagogic theory are realised as genre, register and language. Accumulation of curriculum knowledge: semantic wave Research suggests that key characteristics of knowledge-building and achievement are semantic waves.(Maton, 2014)
