Key Concepts
This mapping type was expanded in the study to include equity as a fifth element.
What is conjecture mapping?
The overall research approach, abbreviated DBR, that guided the study.
What is design-based research?
This shift in educational research encourages researchers to think about how power and politics affect learning.
What is the political turn?
Jill's lessons emphasized this type of problem solving, allowing for multiple valid approaches.
What is open-ended, collaborative problem solving?
Making equity conjectures visible broadened this aspect of the design space, meaning the range of lesson framings considered.
What are possible design framings (or the design space)?
These are statements about how learning remedies socially and historically constructed injustices.
What are equity conjectures?
The iterative activity of planning implementing, and refining lessons with teachers is called this hyphenated term.
What is co-design?
According to Philip & Sengupta, theories of learning are alo theories of this.
What is society?
Jill used this metaphor for the coding grid to connect it with science content.
What is a map?
Bringing in teachers' ideas about equity gave them this kind of important role in designing lessons.
What is a leading role (or teacher leadership)?
The collaborative arrangement between researchers, teachers, and a nonprofit is called this kind of partnership, abbreviated as RPP.
What is a Research-Practice Partnership?
Before designing lessons, the term conducted these interviews to surface stakeholders' stances on CS and equity.
What are equity conjecture interviews?
What is contrapuntal?
The real-world scenario Jill selected involved programming a robot to assist in this environmental activity.
What is reforesting (plating saplings)?
Making these explicit helped the co-design team detect differing perspectives and promote reflection.
What are equity conjectures?
Conjecture maps acted as these shared artifacts that help different stakeholder groups coordinate their work.
What are boundary objects?
These were used as tools and artifacts to mediate design decisions and represent differing equity stances.
What are boundary objects?
This participatory approach to research invites teachers and students to co-design learning in just and inclusive ways.
What is participatory design-based research (or social design experiment)?
To integrate literacy, Jill asked students to justify their planting choices, cultivating skills in this form of scientific communication.
What is argumentation (or explanation writing)?
The study found that surfacing equity conjectures fostered this among RPP participants.
What is consensus building (or mutual understanding)?
Problems that require creating a solution to fit a set of real constraints are called these by Jonassen.
What are design problems?
Weekly planning sessions where researchers and Citrus Coding staff interprerted data were known as these meetings.
What are RPP meetings?
The idea that theories can be read as contextual, consequential, and contrapuntal is advances by these two scholars.
Who are Philip and Sengupta?
What is 20 by 20?
Equity conjectures can work like this early-warning signal, also used in mines to detect danger.
What is a miner's canary?
