Differing Notions of Responsive Teaching Across Mathematics and Science: Does the Discipline Matter?
Sun, April 10, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 101Session Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
Science and mathematics education researchers agree that effective instruction involves noticing, attending to, and responding to students’ ideas. However, explicit and tacit disagreements about what counts as “good” noticing or responsiveness have arisen in the literature. At first glance, the differences seem to fall along disciplinary lines, mathematics vs. science. Our session explores this apparent divide: Is there a real split between mathematics and science education researchers about the nature of responsiveness? If so, what is it, and why does it matter? By gathering researchers of responsive teaching in both mathematics and science in an interactive structured poster session, we hope to help different researchers understand each other’s perspectives and clarify points of agreement, disagreement, and continuing discussion.
