Redefining Engagement and Participation: The Development and Co-Construction of Student Learning Practices

• In Event: 70.025 - Understanding the Role Participation and Communication Play in Mathematical Understanding

Abstract

We examine three student learning practices (SLPs) – listening, presenting, and making and using records – central to participation and engagement in academically ambitious mathematics classrooms. These SLPs, enacted to learn academic content, are means to learning outcomes and outcomes in their own right. We study these SLPs in an elementary mathematics laboratory in which SLPs are supported and developed. Grounded in practice, this analysis enriches concepts of participation and engagement and advances our understanding of SLPs.
