Critical Orientations to Language in STEM Education: Praxis Beyond Replacement of Labels
Fri, April 22, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), SIG Virtual Rooms, SIG-Socio-Political Issues in Mathematics and Science Education Virtual Paper Session RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium aims to shift discourse surrounding language and STEM education through critical perspectives. This symposium is a collection of four papers connected to the central notion of critical orientations to language in STEM education: 1) historicizing Mexican-immigrant mothers’ views of language in their children’s mathematics learning, 2), capitalizing the role of Black English rooted in Black ontology in the context of mathematics learning, 3) rejecting semiotic homogeneity by highlighting translanguaging events in science classrooms, and 4) attending to asset-based and justice-oriented micro interactions with Black and Brown multilingual youth. Our symposium collectively speaks to the importance of reimagining praxis that centers the voices of learners who live across and beyond multiple linguistic and national borders, in the STEM disciplines.
