Locating Vibes as the Felt Dimensions in Learning
This symposium theorizes 'vibes' as the felt, relational, and often unspoken dimensions of learning ecologies, arguing they are consequential for equitable learning with students from non-dominant communities. Drawing on out-of-school interactions, the papers offer a working theory of vibes, show how the colloquial term shaped intuitive pedagogy, and argue for treating vibes as a legitimate construct in the learning sciences.
