60.037 - Designing Possible Futures for Youth From Nondominant Communities: Teaching, Learning, and Designing in the El Pueblo Mágico Ecology
Sun, April 19, 8:15 to 9:45am, Marriott, Floor: Fifth Level, Kansas CitySession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium addresses a pressing and consequential problem of practice: how to address and re-mediate the educational and social inequities for youth from nondominant communities. Within the learning sciences and teacher education, there is an urgent need to design ecologies that give youth access to participate in rigorous and thoughtful learning that leverages their cultural historical repertoires of practice. The set of four related empirical studies that grow out of the larger social design experiment, El Pueblo Mágico, address this need and report on specific practices—from a focus on mediated praxis and critical testimonio, to making and tinkering activities and the re-mediation of social relations in learning activity, these papers illustrate the potential of designing ecologies and pedagogies for re-imagined futures.
