“…By analysing the subjects and the predicates in the curriculum and the classroom observation, we believe we can see an emphasis on what is defined as a CCTD. The analysis also includes the use of argumentation theory, based on Aristotle`s understanding of rhetoric (Sandvik, 2013). The choice of PDA implies the acknowledgment of pedagogical qualities in the Zambian kindergarten system and thereby seeking to counteract a common pitfall within eurocentrism, often having a one-sided and negative emphasis when Europeans describe and discuss the pedagogical processes in kindergartens in Sub-Saharan Africa (Nsamenang & Lo-Oh, 2010;EFA, 2015;.…”

“…Spending half of the day on expressive arts and half of the day on another learning area is in line with the ZCEF. The kindergarten teacher's argumentation about the importance of kindergarten being "fun" can be seen as a form of pathos, emphasising reasoning that includes children's views and feelings when making professional decisions, thereby acknowledging children's right to participation (Sandvik, 2013, Committee on the Rights of The Child (CRC/C/GC/7), 2006, p. 7). Prior to the Zambian teacher's decision, the Norwegian student had described some of her impressions from her first days in the classroom in the following story from practice:…”

“…The teacher's professional reasoning could have been strengthened if it had also included explicit inferences from both the ZECF, research about young children, as well as an ethical argumentation for her reflections on actions. This type of reasoning is referred to as logos and ethos within argumentation theory and would have supplemented the kindergarten teachers previously mentioned pathos aspects of professional reasoning (Sandvik, 2013).…”

This article aims to identify and discuss the existence and strengthening of a child-centred teaching discourse in Zambian kindergartens. The article is based on the understanding that the teacher-directed approach to teaching is a historically based hegemonic discourse within Zambian kindergartens. This means that the teacher-directed teaching discourse dominates thinking in many ways and is translated into institutional arrangements (Hajer, 1995, in Svarstad, 2005, p. 243). Several studies have pointed to the challenges posed by the teacher-directed teaching discourse in kindergartens in Sub-Saharan Africa as a hindrance of pedagogical quality in such institutions, pointing to a child-centred teaching discourse as an important path towards development (EFA, 2015, p. 208, Temba, 2014, p. 110; Mwaura et al., 2008; 2011). This article includes a positive discourse analysis of the Zambian Education Curriculum Framework[1] and a small-scale qualitative study, based on observations from four classrooms in four kindergartens in the Copperbelt province of Zambia. The article focuses on conducting a positive discourse analysis of the elements of child-centred teaching discourse observed in one of the four classrooms. The findings point to the existence of a child-centred teaching discourse in the Zambian Education Curriculum Framework. However, only one of the four Zambian kindergarten teachers seemed to implement teaching practices that could be identified as a child-centred teaching discourse. he elements of a child-centred teaching discourse identified through the positive discourse analysis were: the kindergarten teachers’ professional decisions, good interaction with children, use of a variety of materials, and children’s participation. The findings are discussed in light of the Zambian Education Curriculum Framework as well as theoretical perspectives on child-centred teaching discourse, argumentation theory and children’s right to participation. Finally, the article includes a critical discussion of how the findings may strengthen a child-centred teaching discourse in Zambian kindergartens.

А.Аннотация. Цель исследования заключается в выявлении роли оценочности в реализации доминирующих стратегий и тактик американского предвыборного видеоролика в динамическом аспекте. Научная новизна исследования определяется малоизученностью динамических изменений дискурсивного жанра предвыборного видеоролика и тем, что данные изменения рассматриваются в контексте оценочной составляющей прагматического воздействия предвыборного дискурса. Исследование проводилось на материале трех корпусов текстов американских предвыборных видеороликов, сгруппированных по периодам : 1952-1972 гг., 1976-2000 гг., 2004-2020 гг. В результате исследования были выявлены изменения в доминирующих объектах положительной и отрицательной оценки, усиление роли тех или иных стратегий и тактик, использующих оценочность в качестве значимого средства манипулятивного воздействия, а также отмечена общая тенденция к усилению негативной оценочности.
