Abstract:

Persistent achievement gaps among students from diverse cultural, economic, and social backgrounds are central problems in mathematics education internationally. Promising work addressing these gaps treats underserved students’ cultural and linguistic backgrounds and practices as important resources for learning. However, with few exceptions, research and design in instructional technologies has not treated underserved students’ social and cultural resources as central considerations. Using a sociocultural theoretical framework, we examine the unique potential of a networked classroom technology (HubNet and Participatory Simulations) to draw on students’ cultural and social resources to support learning in mathematics, paying simultaneous attention to (1) content and the way that content is represented and (2) the participation/interaction of students. Results exploring activity during an Integrated Mathematics Project and a Participatory Simulation indicate that networked activity supported academic mathematical practices and also generated a wider space of content and representations, and ways of participating than in conventional teaching.
