Developing a use-inspired school and community-based 6th through 12th-grade research and invention ecosystem leading to STEM careers
This study responds to the need for educational offerings for middle and high school students that develop students’ awareness of STEM degrees and careers and foster positive attitudes, confidence, and students’ ability to see themselves in STEM fields. Theories and methodologies from interactional ethnography guide our examination of ways Science Coach (SC) addresses these needs by educating and supporting 6th–12th-grade science teachers and the…
Transforming a National Invention Education Program through a Strength-based Approach
This system-level ethnographic study of a strength-based approach to transforming a national invention education program makes visible how program leadership drew on research and their own expertise to shift who and how they served. With data analysis grounded in program reports, documentation, and internal and published research, the program’s developmental trajectory is (re)constructed and (re)presented with contextual details provided by progr…
Studying the Over-Time Construction of Knowledge in Educational Settings
This review presents theoretical underpinnings supporting microethnographic-discourse analytic (ME/DA) approaches to studying educational phenomena. The review is presented in two parts. Part 1 provides an analytic review of two seminal reviews of literature that frame theoretical and methodological developments of microethnography and functions language in classrooms with diverse learners. Part 2 presents two telling case studies that illustrate…
