Individual and Collective Engagement Structures in Early Elementary Coding-Mathematics Integrated Tasks

• In Event: Engagement for Learning

Description

Engagement is an important component of quality mathematics education. Recent research has explored collective engagement structures of small groups of middle school students working in mathematics settings (Campbell et al., 2024; Campbell & Lawson, 2024). This study utilized the same framework to examine the engagement structures of a small group of second-grade students working on integrated coding and mathematics tasks over a three-day period. In this study, we examined the effect of collective engagement structures on the engagement of an individual student. The findings have important implications for equitable mathematics and STEM participation where less visible forms of leadership are recognized, valued, and uplifted.
