47.051 - Sociocultural Traditions to Study Teaching and Teacher Education for the Inclusive Classroom

Sun, April 7, 11:50am to 1:20pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 700 Level, Room 714B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The purpose of this session is to examine the contributions of different sociocultural approaches to the study of teaching and teacher education for inclusive classrooms where children with and without dis/abilities learn together. The session curates a collection of five papers using different theoretical approaches within Vygotskian sociocultural theory. Sociocultural theory has grown solid bodies of research along several traditions, each of which contributes to theorizing teaching and teacher education for the inclusive classroom in unique ways. However, rarely does discussion among scholars center on the collective intellectual contributions across frameworks. This session is an effort to explore contributions of multiple frameworks to the study of inclusive teaching and teacher education, supporting AERA’s call to leverage research through multiple narratives.
