Description The study deals with communication structures in teaching of Ethics in circular classroom arrangement. A communication structure represents a sequence of communicative exchanges which share the same topic and time sequence. This definition illustrates the arrangement of communicative exchanges and the flow of communication during observed classes. A qualitative research was realized at two lower secondary schools which offered an optional seminar of Ethics for third grade students. The decision to use the so-called discussion circle in the seminars was proposed by the teachers who had participated in a special study program on teaching Ethics. The data was gathered via video-recording of classes and teacher interviews. Based on the data, this paper introduces four communication structures which were present in the recorded seminars: the first two are of dyadic nature and the latter two are structures relevant for discussion. The paper introduces these results in the context of the current understanding of circular classroom arrangement and aims related to teaching of Ethics.
