Innovations and New Directions in Methods and Frameworks for Learning

Tue, April 17, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Sheraton New York Times Square, Floor: Second Floor, Empire Ballroom West

Session Type: Working Group Roundtable

Abstract

Science learning, whether it takes place in a formal or informal setting, is always part of multiple and varying assemblages of heterogeneous entities (both living and non-living), and affective networks and relations. However, to date research in science education, like other forms of social inquiry, have been dominated by perspectives localizing learning within individual cognition. Drawing from theories of feminist new materialisms (Barad, 2007), also known as critical ontologies, presentations in this session will engage the audience with empirical research and conceptual/theoretical studies that examine the material-discursive dimesions of social practices in science education.
