Short Paper · ALP 1110

Math education and teachers learning

Short papers address mathematics education and teacher learning, from participatory co-analysis of clinical interviews to the affective dynamics of whiteness in professional learning conversations. Other talks examine undergraduate conceptions of technology, mathematical values in algebra problem-solving, teacher sensemaking, and co-learning toward equity-oriented instruction.

Collaborative Learning Processes

Five short papers analyze how collaborative learning unfolds, using methods like Epistemic Network Analysis to model collaborative initiative in STEM simulations and multimodal interactions across jigsaw tasks. Topics range from combining intelligent tutors with concept maps and teachable agents to GenAI-supported interdisciplinary teams and age differences in older-adult learners.

Short Paper · ALP 2700

Teachers learning and agency

These papers explore teacher learning, agency, and positioning, including reinterpreting project-based learning in Kazakhstan and how inclusive 'we' discourse shapes belonging in science. Further talks treat customization dilemmas, teacher positioning during student game redesign, resistance as a professional resource, and autonomy in informal learning.

Long Paper · ALP 3600

Embodied Mathematics and Science

These talks investigate how the body supports learning in mathematics and science, examining gesture and materiality in mechanistic explanations and how children's gestures reveal their conceptions of fractions. Other work pairs coordination class theory with fNIRS neuroimaging and aligns visual-first, embodied pedagogies to teach abstract statistical models.

#1189: POV

An experimental 360-degree video work built from chest-mounted GoPro footage of educators conducting macroinvertebrate sampling in a Lake Erie tributary, probing the limits of video-based interaction analysis. It invites viewers to wonder about the point-of-view of non-human creatures and to sit with the unresolved messiness of wading and listening.

Hybrid Symposium · ALP 1300

Breaking Open the Black Box: Engaging the Sociotechnical Politics of Video Analysis

This hybrid poster symposium examines the power and politics embedded in how video data is collected and analyzed in learning sciences research. Authors offer multiple approaches to the intersection of politics and video technology, aiming to surface shared theoretical and methodological concerns through dialogue.

Arts Gallery & Performance · Screening Room / Theatre (1070 McCormick Screening Room)

#1189: POV

An experimental video built from 360-degree GoPro footage of educators collecting macroinvertebrate data in a Lake Erie tributary, reworking interaction analysis to wrest point-of-view from participants into researchers' hands. It invites wondering about the perspectives of the creatures we study and embracing the messiness of wading and listening without answers.
