Semiotics and classroom interaction: Mediated discourse, distributed cognition, and the multimodal semiotics of Maguru Panggul pedagogy in two Balinese Gamelan classrooms in the United States

Abstract

Maguru panggul pedagogy is a traditional form of instruction used to teach Balinese Gamelan that literally means the teacher is the mallet. This pedagogy is presented as a semiotic apprenticeship where students become active participants by not only learning the music, but by also contributing their knowledge about it during negotiated classroom interactions. Three examples from research conducted in two Balinese Gamelan classrooms in the United States are analyzed utilizing the theory of mediated discourse analysis, and discussing these examples in terms of distributed cognition. Maguru panggul is revealed as a semiotic apprenticeship that draws upon several semiotic modes.
