Abstract

In this study, we investigate the interactional positions negotiated among students and the teacher during joint mathematical exploration in the classroom. Using qualitative coding of two video episodes in a secondary mathematics classroom, we found participants take up positions of uncertain knower and explorer in addition to positions of knower and actor identified in previous research. These additional positions help illuminate collaborative knowledge building and negotiation of shared epistemic agency and authority in learning.
