Long papers analyzing roles and interaction structures in collaborative learning, including authorial roles in GenAI-supported work, teacher discourse in physics simulations, and emergent roles in distributed epistemic games. One study uses learning analytics to support metacognitive regulation in a Knowledge Building course.
Short papers on how students and children negotiate what counts as scientific knowledge, spanning explanation construction, epistemic disagreements in high school classrooms, and trust in scientific evidence. Talks also examine identity cues in STEM, support spaces in Japanese schools, and a model integrating behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism.
Design-based research aimed at equity and partnership in science education, including queer-inclusive STEM curricula, dignity frameworks for multilingual learners, and funds-of-knowledge approaches. Talks also cover affective equity in research-practice partnerships, museum evaluation practice, and teacher curriculum-customization tools for sensemaking.
