Meaning-making Processes in Science within a Swedish Context : The Case of Newly-arrived Turkish Pupils in Sweden

• Recently, educational institutions, especially in Europe, have received a growing number of newly-arrived pupils (Eurydice, 2019), which has attracted researchers to assess the educational attainment of these pupils. This research project hence aims to investigate meaning-making processes in the subject of Science where the learning process of newlyarrived Turkish pupils is scaffolded by their study-guidance teachers during studyguidance sessions. To outline the theoretical perspective of the research, Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory on meaning-making and scaffolding is adopted. Data was collected through the observation of newly-arrived Turkish pupils and their study guidanceteachers during the study-guidance sessions. A piece of dialogue between a studyguidance teacher and a newly-arrived pupil has been presented to indicate the challenges which arise during scaffolded interactions.
