Abstract

Session Abstract: Over the past decade, science education has been pushed to an inflection point. What was once a given of scalable standards-based science education is now being reimagined as adaptable models for teaching science through collaborative student-led sensemaking. This tension of supporting individual students' ways of knowing and being in coordination with canonical STEM practices has teachers caught between a paradigmatic binary. The field of the Learning Sciences provides comprehensive knowledge about the need for opening up diverse learning pathways in the classroom, yet little is discussed about what to do once those learning pathways are made visible. In this symposium, the authors consider how teachers “make space” for student contributions in classroom-based science education, and consequently, analyze what happens after it is made.
