Race and Ethnicity in the Study of Learning and Motivation Within Educational Contexts

Tue, April 12, 8:15 to 9:45am, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 145 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The racial demographics of the United States are rapidly changing. This increase undoubtedly means that race and ethnicity will play an increasingly important role in educational contexts. As such, research related to the roles that race and ethnicity play in teaching, learning, and motivational processes are needed. Our aim in this symposium is to present the work of key researchers who use race-focused constructs while investigating educational contexts. The aim of this symposium is precisely to make an attempt to discuss and analyze the roles that race and ethnicity play in educational contexts. This symposium will also include innovative approaches that will push the methodological boundaries and propose new ways of researching race and ethnicity in educational contexts.
