Straight Talk: Natural Language Processing Approaches to Characterizing Student Opportunities to Learn in Mathematics

Sat, April 11, 3:45 to 5:15pm PDT (3:45 to 5:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores innovative applications of computational methodologies and natural language processing (NLP) techniques to characterize student opportunity to learn in mathematics classrooms. The session spans four interrelated, empirical studies from a wide variety of contexts. Authors will present findings on a novel measure for teachers’ attributions to students’ mathematical ideas, math vocabulary usage among multilingual learners and its links to student belonging and engagement, teacher language and sentiment in relation to student diversity in German math classrooms, and the mathematical discourse practices of multilingual youth. The discussant, an expert on transformative mathematics instructional practice, will synthesize findings, foster interactive dialogue, and guide reflection on the implications and future use of computational methods for research on equity in mathematics education.
