Social Justice Driven STEM: Achieving Equity Goals through Integrated Mathematics Education
Harper, Frances K.; Deshpande, Deepa
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (40th, Greenville, SC, Nov 15-18, 2018)
This study investigated how integrating social justice issues, STEM practices, and mathematics may support equity in mathematics education. We analyzed video of four lessons focused on inverse trigonometry and disability rights from a STEM project-based geometry class. Using an established observation protocol, we identified themes related to access and participation in coherent and cognitively demanding mathematics, student voice, and opportunities to develop positive mathematics identity. Findings provide insights into project and lesson structures that support balancing mathematics and social justice goals across STEM projects and point to additional considerations of equity not fully captured by the existing observation protocol.
