Connective and Productive Disciplinary Engagement: Key Concepts, Applications, Developments, and New Directions

Sat, April 13, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 118B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The Connective and Productive Disciplinary Engagement framework (CPDE; Agarwal & Sengupta-Irving, 2019) was formulated to support equity in designing ambitious mathematics and science education and beyond. The framework synthesized past literature into two “dimensions of power”–epistemic diversity, and historicity and identity–to rearticulate the principles of productive disciplinary engagement (Engle & Conant, 2002) for epistemic justice (​​Bang & Medin, 2010). This session aims to advance conversations about developments, challenges, and future directions for the CPDE framework since its inception. Early-career and senior scholars will discuss research on teacher professional development, classroom interactions, and (co)design of learning environments that mobilize diverse epistemic practices, community histories, student identities, and racial justice. Discussants will synthesize emerging ideas and implications for advancing CPDE in K-12 education.
