N2  - This study aimed toexplore the types of talk occurring in small group discussions about digestivesystem. Twenty two seven-graders worked on digestive system in small groups. Inorder to study these particular group's interactions and how they constructedmeaning as they discussed digestion, field notes, transcripts of small-groupdiscussions and group interviews were analyzed qualitatively. The resultsrevealed that three types of talk (exploratory, cumulative and disputational)were observed in each group in varying amounts. The comparative analysis amonggroups revealed that students’ engaged in exploratory talk showed explicit andmore sound reasoning than students’ engaged in disputational or cumulativetalk. The potential factors which may lead to reasoning were also explored.
