A Conjecture Map for Designing Learning Experiences in Middle School Mathematics

• In Event: D&D - Tools and Techniques for K-12

Short Description

This session presents conjecture mapping as a tool for designing learning experiences and improving the rigor of design-based research (DBR) projects. The conjectures are articulated as the relationship between embodiments of the learning environment (e.g., tools/materials), mediating processes (e.g., learner activity), and outcomes. A conjecture map for middle school mathematics learning will be shared and participants will consider their own DBR projects in relation to the mapping process.
