Abstract

Using the philosophy of inferentialism (Brandom, 2000), this article explores teachers’ approach to students’ conceptual development, arguing that asking what it is for a concept to have meaning affords new ways of framing both instructional design and explanations of variation in student learning. Through an inductive research strategy into a single lesson taught by a student-teacher, I show how semantic theory can help educators to discern and harness student knowledge building.
