14.014 - A Cross-Disciplinary Conversation About Productive Disciplinary Engagement

Thu, April 27, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 218

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Many instructional improvement efforts in STEM have attempted to implement classroom practices that resemble disciplinary practices such as modeling or argumentation. Productive disciplinary engagement (PDE) was first developed as a common framework to help learning scientists make comparisons across case studies of innovative instructional projects. Beginning with the STEM disciplines and expanding to the humanities, recent studies of disciplinary engagement have raised new questions about application of the PDE framework. After brief reports on projects across disciplines and educational levels, we will host a discussion of the applicability of the PDE framework across settings and disciplines and questions of methodology, including defining “disciplinary” at different levels of schooling, role of teacher, utility of PDE framework outside of STEM.
