Learning to Engage: Scientists, Engineers, Educators, and Youth in Learning Collaborations
Mon, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 101Session Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
This interactive poster session focuses on the mutual learning processes of scientists, engineers, educators, and youth as they engage in joint activity through a diverse set of practices. Each poster explores a) sociocultural approaches to science education, focusing on issues of identity, positioning, affect, and equity as they are salient during scientists’ and engineers’ engagement with public audiences, b) the potential for these interactive contexts to provide opportunities for expansive learning (Engeström & Sannino, 2010) for all participants, and broaden participation in the STEM fields through re-imagining what participation in STEM practices entails, and c) researchers’ reflexive consideration of their roles in the research and commitments to the creation of hybrid spaces for participants to learn from each other.
