| Abstract Title: | Do I belong here?: Understanding Participation and Non-participation in Whole-Class “Board” Meetings |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | In University Modeling Instruction, students work in small groups on a problem and then hold a student-led whole-class discussion to develop consensus. While such interactive-engagement has been effective for learning, it requires students to be social while learning. Feedback from course evaluations indicates that not all students value the whole-class discussions. To better understand this feedback we had students write about their experience in a particularly contentious mid-semester whole-class discussion. Then we developed a preliminary coding scheme based on the social ecologies of identity framework from Wegner's "Communities of Practice", which identifies student modes of belonging through participation and non-participation. Preliminary evidence suggests that because not all students construct identities of participation, not all have a positive reaction to this pedagogy. By developing a descriptive model of student engagement, we seek to develop a predictive model to inform professional development for instructors who teach in student centered classrooms. |
