With this view, it is not surprising that there has been a lack of sustained research interest in the ‘unofficial world of [student] peer culture’ (Cazden 1986:451), that is, what schoolchildren do and say while not under the direct guidance or gaze of a teacher. g. g. Cox 1988; Cree and Donaldson 1996; Gumperz and Field 1995; Lyle 1996; Smith 1988). However, many of these, as well as other studies from across the K-12 range, have focused on assessing whether features of student-student interaction have a positive effect on learning outcomes and achievements rather than on the processes of interaction themselves (see for example, Calkins 1983; Cazden 1986, 1988; Haas-Dyson 1991; Emans and Fox 1973; Finney 1991; Fleer 1992; Johnson and Johnson 1992; Lawlor 1974; Sharan and Sharan 1992; Webb 1982; Weeks 1990).

Students are a group, that is, a cohort. Being ‘cohorted’ has been shown to be another attribute of students constituted in whole class talk in classrooms (Baker and Perrott 1988; Breen 1985; Breen et al.
