    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Lärande i kemi; Begripliggörande; Språk; Begreppsutveckling; Lärar-elevinteraktion; Begreppskartor; Samtalsanalys; Chemistry teaching and learning; Sensemaking; Language use; Concept development; Teacher–student interaction; Concept mapping; Conversation analysis;

    Abstract : In chemistry education, student learning difficulties involve connecting theory and phenomena to make sense of chemistry, as well as utilising and understanding the language of chemistry. In this thesis, I examine the relationships among student language use, previous achievement level, and sensemaking in chemistry, as well as how experienced teachers help students make sense of chemistry as part of dialogic interaction during practical work.
