73.041 - Material Practice and Materiality: Too Long Ignored in Science Education Research and Practice?
Mon, April 20, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Marriott, Floor: Tenth Level, O'HareSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Beginning with the understanding that cultures are constituted by material social practices each presentation brings a unique perspective to the notion of materiality and material culture and its application within various fields including feminist theory, history of science, elementary education and professional education. This diversity serves to illustrate the importance of material culture and materiality to science education and suggests that any science curriculum with a focus on scientific practices should be exploring this issue as the curriculum concurrently addresses the language needs of learning within this discipline.
